The importance of reading in the 21st century shouldn't be overemphasized . This is because everybody is more aware now and the internet is there to always provide such informations.

WHY SHOULD WE READ?
we should read because,

  1. Reading builds our vocabulary: While reading we come across new words and most times we are forced to check the dictionary for the meanings of those words. This way we learn about new words and our vocabulary builds up
  2. Reading makes us learn new things: Imagine reading a fiction as a Nigerian about a chef in America. We are all aware of the fact that one of the things that distinguishes one race or tribe from another is food. Reading that book will keep you updated not only on the a life of an American chef but also the different American dishes.

3.Reading broadens the mind. Your mind will no longer be caged or limited to a particular belief or way of life but it will be opened to other things.

  1. Reading helps in research: Reading books can help in investigations, exploration, examination and inquiry about a particular topic of interest.
  2. Reading builds creativity : One of the things reading books always does, is building ones creative side wether you like it or not. As a reader you would also be able to do creative stuff like writing, creating contents, blogging, poetry and many more.

WHAT SHOULD YOU READ?
You should read any and everything. Reading should not just be limited to a particular world or area but, it should cover everything you can lay your hands one.
Another important thing is that, you should focus more on reading printed books instead of on your mobile phones. If you read more on phones, they could be some side effects which one is you not being able to sleep early when you read in the night because the light from your phone chases away sleep. When you read printed books it helps you sleep well at night.
