Much has already been said and written by scientists and researchers about the importance of reading and how it affects one’s ability to function excellently not only in personal but professional life as well. Reading is an essential exercise for your brain like a healthy work out is to your body, as rightly said by Sir Richard Steele.

often.

better grasp of patterns, according to psychologists.

remember things.

to be recalled later.

improve memory.

on what he is reading.
