I like the comparative you drew between reading and working out at the gym, seeing as to how the brain is also a muscle that needs to be trained on a daily basis to keep it performing on all cylinders. 

I've only recently started reading printed materials again, and this piece does resonate well with me. My current read is Russell Brand's Revolution. Do give it a try, I find it very entertaining as I'm a fan of his stand-up, and his style of writing complements his stage persona too. Keep up the writing!

there is an argument that we all read. An average smartphone user absorb thousands of content everyday via facebook, twitter, ***steemit***, etc the vital question here is: what are you reading? it's a question of value. there millions of insignificant informations streaming through the cyber space and most of us have become junkies, feeding on cheap irrelevent information.
I view reading as an opportunity to diversify one's experience and knowledge. like a writer once said, ***readers live a thousand lives*** (paraphrased, I don't do well with quotes). Ignorance is so boring and sometimes I wonder how people cope without knowing. being aware is the meaning of life, and books keep you alert and aware.
I had a ***read 54 books this year*** goal, but my phone got spoilt and i lost all my soft copy books. plus im writing my final year project, so there is a lot on my plate. well this is my excuse, but i have read close to 25 books this year if I am not mistaken

Hi @khaleelkazi it is really a nice article. Before steemit, I was not good at reading and I looked at it as a time waster but with steemit have learnt to appreciate the beauty behind it.  I have gained a lot of knowledge from  reading and also it is hard to survive on steemit  if you  hate reading

It is so beautiful to see that there are still people who are passionate about reading. Reading definitely helps us to grow a lot more as people, not to mention that we also acquire impressive knowledge when reading. Good to meet you for this post, I hope to continue reading your publications. Greetings from faraway lands (Venezuela). Hugs.

Nice word about reading

LEER REALMENTE ES ESTAR INFORMADOS DE LO QUE PASA EN EL MUNDO , ES NUTRIRTE CADA DIA MÁS DE INFORMACIÓN NUEVA TODOS LOS DIAS SE APRENDE ALGO Y NUNCA SE DEJA DE APRENDER  NO IMPORTA LA EDAD.

Es un buen post...

Brilliant work great job mate

In my case the best time for reading is every moment. I want to say that I ready to read always. It can early morning if I have free time. It can be during road to or from my work if I need to refresh something in my mind. Or it's similar interesting book. And of course I can to read before going to bed. So that's why I can enjoy reading every moment when I am not working or busy.

I was not that fund o reading. But no I try to read as much as can particularly early in morning. Of course, we must avoid distraction while reading. Power of the words can illeffect you thought if we are not pay attention to meaning of sentences.

The word is our light

Like the first quote so much. Cool analogy!

I was quite the opposite during school. I was a voracious reader and ate knowledge like pigeons eat anything;) I enjoyed history most of all and still gravitate to it til this day. You're right, people spend hours researching a book, days, years to compile the basic knowledge to put it together. I wrote a manuscript it took me two years after 5 years of testing, reading, trying only to have it unpublished at the end of the day as the market crash of 2009 thanks to a certain US president. Instead I became a buyer of books as they were so cheap at that point,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it's refreshing to see that people still  do read.

I think reading is about knowledge, what is the use of reading if u can't make our own thoughts!!

Nice post! Readers are known to be leaders. Nothing can replace reading for a person who intends to achieve greatness because, it helps you stand on the shoulders of great men who have gone through that route before you. Keep it up!

quotes always mesmerise

Beautiful ♥

Read to acknowledge, read to know!
Read to feel it, read to glow!
Don't read too fast, read it slow!
Make it your habbit, give it a blow!
