4. Hobby
Every individual has their own hobbies, like playing online
games, watching television or movies, hanging out with friends
etc. There are also people who make reading books as their
hobby. As mentioned above, people want to read books

If you are still going to school, your school definitely
provide books for every student. Teachers get the
information that they discuss on their students from books.
Schools supply books on every student so that they can study
even if they are at home, they can still study. College
students definitely need books in order for them to expand
their knowledge about the course that they take. For
example, you take an engineering course in college; you need
to read books about engineering not books about nursing or
other different course. Studying is one of the main reasons
why people read books.

6. Vocabulary
One of the best ways to expand your vocabulary is to read
lots of books. When you read book, you will definitely
encounter words that you don’t understand or you don’t
know the meaning. You might want to know the meaning of the
word that you just encounter. All you need to do is get a
dictionary and search for the meaning of the word in the book
that you don’t understand so that when you encounter that
word again, you definitely understand it. You can also use all
the difficult words that you encounter on reading books when
you speak.

7. Imagination
Some people don’t read books because they think it is boring.
Another reason is; books are pure text and they don’t have any
image and that is also the reason why people read books.
When you read, you visualize the things or scenes that happen
in the story. There are some books that explain the
appearance of the characters so that readers will have idea
on what the characters looks like. People can test and
improve the power of their imagination when they read.

8. Reading Skills
When you start going to school, your teachers will teach you
how to read words and sentences. You can really enhance
your reading skills by reading books. The more books you
read the more chance of improving. Just like the saying
“Practice makes perfect”, if you think that your reading skills
is poor, don’t be discouraged or stop reading. You won’t
improve if you don’t do anything. This is also one of the main
reasons why people keep on reading books.

9. Motivation
There are lots of authors nowadays that write their own
story on how they tackle all the trials that came into their
life. Most readers love to read stories about success, because
they become motivated. In a motivational book, you will know
all the things that the person does in order to become
successful in life. If you want to achieve your dreams and you
begin to lose hope, you should motivational books so that you
won’t give up on your dreams.

10. Confusion
If there are lots of questions in your mind you should read
lots of books. People also read books to know the truth. For
example, you are being confused if the dinosaurs are real or
not. All you need to do is read lots of books about dinosaurs;
you will definitely find the truth. Did you already heard of a
story that is hard to believe? If you are confused, search the
truth in the book. Most people won’t stop searching until
their question has been answered.

11. Most people stop reading books because they choose a wrong
book for them. It is very important to choose a book that you
will surely like. If you are looking for a good book, check
first the title to have an idea what inside the book. If you
really want to make sure, read the first 2 or 3 pages of the
book. You can also read the summary. If you think that the
book is interesting and you think you will enjoy it; then pick it.
If you are planning to buy good books online and you are
searching for a good author, I recommend Peter Andrew Sacco
because he is a good author and his books are all interesting.
