I love my hobby reading of books. I love reading whatever I can get my hands on. Reading is a good hobby because it helps me to learn a lot of things. I read a lot of books; fiction, non-fiction, biography, self-help, instructional, etc. I believe everyone should have a reading hobby.
Reading is good because it builds vocabulary, improves reasoning faculties, increases knowledge and teaches different forms of expression. Reading fiction has the ability to transport you to a different world, the world of the author. Your imagination power is enhanced through reading. Readers often tend to become writers because reading activates that part of your brain that leads to coherent thought and expression. The best advice given to writers is to read as much as you can. It is that effective.
Reading is a good hobby because it cultures you. It promotes maturity and readers are able to learn from the experiences of others. Whether through fictional characters or real people, reading equips you with lessons that help you tackle life better. I enjoy reading biographies of scientists, poets, and philosophers. Biographies give insight to the experiences of great personalities and help us to understand their struggles and their achievements. Reading newspapers makes you aware of your surroundings and your duty as a citizen of the world.
Reading builds character. It makes you empathetic to the plight of others. It teaches you how to handle situations with grace, fortitude and reason. It also enables you to communicate complicated experiences through clear and concise expressions. I wouldn’t be able to draft a simple coherent sentence to write if I hadn’t read it somewhere before.
I am an avid reader of fictional literature because it is entertaining, thought-provoking and opens new imaginary world for me. I find a good detective fiction gets my brain cells working rapidly. Journalistic fiction inspires me to write factually. To strip my sentence of useless adornments and get straight to the point. I admire many authors and have begun quite a collection of their books. I collect the books which I revisit often because they are that good. I love books and that is why reading is my hobby.
