Reading is an interesting and useful activity. But today it is increasingly becoming old-fashioned. Fewer people are reading books. Books are replaced by the Internet, social networks and news. I do not call for abandoning progress, but self-improvement is simply necessary.
I want to talk about people who love to read books. Here we are not talking about light literature, which is read for entertainment. Although she has the right to exist. Here we will talk about people who love to read classical literature and.
How are readers different from others?
They have a broader horizon
After all, they are constantly learning something new. From books we draw information on history, ethnography, learn about the traditions and customs of different peoples. Thus, our life experience becomes richer and more diverse.
Rich vocabulary and high literacy
Readers are more creative
Of course, there are creative people who have never read books. But literature stimulates and develops creativity. Some reading enthusiasts eventually try to write a literary text.
They think more about eternal values
A modern person does not often think about eternal values: about peace, love, friendship, fidelity, honor, faith, dignity. Literature makes you think about the eternal, helps you find your place in the world, your destiny.
They can easily find a topic for conversation or keep up the conversation.
This is not a complete list of facts about people who read. It can be continued. To read or not is the choice of everyone. But reading is not to increase your self-esteem, you need to enjoy it. Only then .
In the video, 10 entertaining facts about those who love to read!
Recently, the fashion for reading, fortunately, is gaining momentum. A person who does not read books is perceived by most of the youth as limited and not having a sufficient level of intelligence. No matter how rude it may sound, but it’s really worth thinking about the horizons of a person who is limited to glossy magazines / image boards / news feed in social networks - emphasize the necessary.
But I will not be ironic about those who neglect literature. One of my acquaintances (of course, not reading) once said the phrase: “Yes, what's the point of reading, it does not bring any benefit.” At that moment, I completely lost all words from indignation. After all, a person who loves books is well aware of the benefits of reading.
Therefore, in this article, I want to take revenge on my friend and talk to you about the benefits of reading.
1. A person who reads always has an advantage over those who neglect reading.
First of all, a well-read person always stands one step higher than the one who can count the books read in his life on the fingers. And here we mean the attractiveness of the reading person for the opposite sex. Remember the Big Bang Theory slogan that read "Smart is the new sexy"? When a person leaves the age when the appearance of a partner meant literally everything, there is a desire to see in his partner not only a beautiful picture, but also an interesting interlocutor. And what can you talk about with a person who does not read?
2. When you read, your fantasy is at its fullest.
Isn't this a reason for a creative person to read a lot? Only a book lover knows that feeling of disappointment while watching another adaptation of another book. After all, when reading a filmed book, you imagined everything in a completely different way, brighter, richer, more beautiful. And then a significant part of the work was thrown away, the event was not depicted as it was described in the book, but the main character is generally some kind of strange ...
3. You have something to do with yourself.
Imagine the situation: you just woke up, it’s wildly cold outside, so neither you nor your friends have any desire to leave the house. Your day turned out to be completely free, and you planned to spend it watching movies, a series or a computer game. And here, due to an accident at the station, the power is turned off for the whole day. What to do? Horror! But you have a great way out of the situation - a book. And for the whole day you are immersed in another world, watching your own movie in your imagination, which is much better than the movies that you wanted to watch. And what would a person who does not read books do in such a situation?
4. The book allows you to get away from your problems for a while.
And you don't need a lot of alcohol or anything to make you forget. Just pick up a good book and start reading it. After a couple of dozen pages, you will not notice how you stop thinking about your problems. You will simply escape for a while to another world. And who knows, perhaps in this book you will find a solution to your problems.
5. Books give you a deeper view of the world.
By reading, you become calmer, make more informed decisions, and choose your social circle more carefully. And this is not due to the fact that after reading a dozen books, you have gained a lot of knowledge. It's just that any book requires the reader to think about what is happening in it. And this habit of thinking about the work is transferred to events from real life.
6. Reading brings variety to life.
If you don't have the opportunity right now to take off on a trip around the world, read a book about a country or such a trip. When you return home from a long journey with the main character, you will notice that your desire for a change of scenery has been somewhat satisfied. Of course, books cannot replace real travel, but an adventure novel will act on you like a vitamin from the blues.
7. You will make new acquaintances and friends.
Books are close. Every reader knows those moments when it turns out that one of your friends also read a book you recently read, and it also turned his mind around. There is nothing more pleasant than sharing your impressions of what you read and finding support in the words of the interlocutor. And, of course, in the age of the Internet, you can discuss books on forums or somewhere else and find new like-minded people.
8. You will have something to pass on to your children.
This is where the books themselves take a backseat. The important thing is that you will have enough information and knowledge to give your child good and wise advice. A developed imagination will allow you to invent your own fairy tales, and a parent who tells a fairy tale rather than reads it causes much more admiration for the child. Well, you can come up with a more interesting story.
9. Reading people are easier to learn.
This pattern has been noticed for a long time - a person who reads books is easier to learn than one who neglects literature. It is not known what exactly gives such a result - more developed thinking or already acquired perseverance - but the fact remains.
10. Beautiful speech.
A book lover will outperform a person who prefers to avoid reading. And there is absolutely no pleasure from communicating with someone who has a meager vocabulary. Who wants to wait until the interlocutor remembers the right word, replacing the gap in the speech with a lowing like: "Uh ... uuu ... this is ... like ... in short."
In conclusion of the article, I want to say that you should not go to extremes and replace all activities with reading. There are many worthwhile films, the Internet is full of useful information, and computer games can also develop some skills. So keep a balance in your hobbies and develop.

How often do you meet people who really enjoy reading books, those who don't need to be forced, those who enjoy it? After all, today the continuous information flow from television, the Internet and, in particular, social networks, has simply replaced books for many. Fortunately, there are still those who love to read. And these people are better than everyone else. Below are 7 reasons why you should hang out with people who love to read books.
1. They know how to notice the little things
While reading, a person lives in a virtual reality, which differs in many ways from his everyday life. This enriches our experience, helps to improve the point of view on a variety of topics. By developing his intellect, a reader can not only notice details, but also enjoy them. Don't believe? Give a bookworm a comfortable chair, warm tea, and he will be very grateful to you.
2. They are smarter
Thanks to books, we develop, learn a lot of interesting things, train our intellect. And it is not at all necessary to read hard-to-understand works. In fantasy sagas, in the world of elves and dragons, you can also find important life lessons! In addition, you may notice that people who read fiction still have better vocabulary than those who don't read at all. They are also much less likely to answer "I don't know." This means that it is much more pleasant to communicate with them.
3. They are more creative
Ingenuity is always useful, and especially in personal life. Your reading half will always be able to surprise you with something even when you have lived together for decades and get to know each other well. And all because he or she can always borrow ideas from previously read books. If you like long-term relationships, start them with bookworms. They will always be able to please with something interesting and new.
4. They are more patient
Having taken up the matter, the reader usually brings it to the end. And all because he is used to spending a lot of time reading: for those who are busy, it can take whole weeks to read a book. But they do not quit what they started, but confidently go to the end. Developed patience is a gift whose value is manifested in relationships.
5. They value personal time and space.
Readers will not impose themselves on you, trying to occupy not part of your life, but your whole life. They always have books in which you can plunge into, as if in a wonderful dream. Readers don't like being taken away from their books. This means that you and your soul mate simply will not be able to get bored with each other, since you will always have enough free time for yourself.
6. They are more romantic
Almost every book has a little bit of romance. Even in fantasy created specifically for teenagers, you will find something unusual - in the lives of the characters, in their experiences, thoughts. Usually they defeat evil together through friendship or love, faith and hope. The reader knows a lot about romance and is more likely to bring it into your relationship.
7. They are more caring
Paper books teach to take care of fragile products. They can be burned, damaged, filled with water, torn. Those who love to read know how important it is to take care of things (both your own and others') and people. They know how to appreciate what they value.
1. They tend to be more sophisticated/refined
Reading allows people to delve into opinions and realities that are different from their own. This helps them refine their point of view. Reading also contributes to the development of intelligence, wisdom, composure and patience. Also, do not forget that people who read with pleasure can, like no one else, fully enjoy such trifles as good lighting, comfortable furniture and delicious tea.
2. They are more intelligent
When you read a lot, you learn a lot. Just because a person reads fantasy stories about elves and dragons doesn't mean it's stupid reading. Such books can be filled with life lessons. You can find a lot of people reading fantasy. And they have a better vocabulary than those who read various magazines or do not read at all. They understand clues better, learn new information better. It is also more pleasant to communicate with them. And this is very important in a relationship. I don't want to say that a person who reads is a universal soldier, ready for anything. But from such people you will hear the phrase “I don’t know” much less often.
3. They are creative
Creativity is important in relationships. After a couple of years of relationship, it is very difficult to surprise your soulmate. When a person reads a lot, he absorbs the creativity of the authors, like a sponge. All of these books present ideas that readers might not have known about. And if you want a really long-term relationship, then people who read are more suitable for this. After all, they will find a way to maintain novelty in relationships and make them interesting. They will simply use the ideas they once read about.
4. They are still children at heart.
And such people understand children better, and they know how to deal with them. After all, good relationships sooner or later lead to children. And let's be honest, these are the people who can teach our children while they are growing up. Such people know a lot of fairy tales and can even invent them themselves. They will make sure that the children are really absorbed in the story.
5. He will be a more passionate lover
Have you ever read a tastefully described sex scene in a novel? They are very visual, but not vulgar. In the worlds that are described in the books, people are very passionate. And, as we said, people who read learn a lot. So, the book can teach to be passionate.
6. They are more patient
Reading books takes a lot of time. And busy people need weeks to finish a book. Some can devour a couple of hundred pages in just a few hours. In both cases, a lot of patience is needed. And patience is a skill that takes years to hone. And people who read really hone it for a long time. Such people will be patient enough to solve relationship problems.
7. They will teach you a lot
As we have repeatedly stated, people who read know a lot. They have read many pages, and these pages contain various lessons. After all, not all the books they read are fantasy, drama or novels. Such people love not only to read. They also love to learn. They love it. Which means they can also teach you a lot. Life, relationships, technology and more. Are there really incomprehensible topics for a truly well-read person? If there is, then he can read about it.
8. You are guaranteed personal time
Readers love to read. It sounds a little silly, but read on until the end. While reading, we imagine landscapes, people and scenes that are described in the book. And when we are interrupted from reading, everything stops. And you have to start over. When a person reads, he does not like to be disturbed. And that means you have time for yourself. You can sleep, take a bath, go shopping or do whatever you like.
9. They really know what romance is.
They read books containing elements of romance. Even if it's a fantasy novel written specifically for young guys or men, there will be romance in it. The heroes and heroines of his books are experiencing the worst moments in life. They experienced battles and betrayals, separation and despair. But, despite everything, they remain together, overcoming all difficulties. And if you meet a reading person, be sure that he knows everything about romance. So, your life will soon be filled with this very romance.
10. They know what caring is.
Books are made of paper. And paper is a very fragile thing. It can be destroyed by fire, water, and just time. So rest assured that people reading know how to take care of their stuff. After all, they will want to re-read their books again and again. You can be sure that such people will carefully treat not only their own, but also your things. And yes, they will take good care of you. Of course you are not a thing! It's just that these people take care of everything that is really dear to them.
In general, people who read are better than many others. But be careful! Not every reader is like the one described in my article.
