Not many people still sit and read books. Whether people find it too tedious or too boring. Personally, I used to read a lot more than I do now. And it’s something that I’ve wanted to start again. Things I have started reading again, they’ve had a lot of benefit to my life. I think doing some independent reading allows you to see into other worlds, views, and mindsets without the input of reality stepping in. Everyone has their own values and opinions, and a lot of the time the rules that are set into society and often conformed to, step in to peoples mind and can sometimes influence their opinions and thought process. But independent reading allows you to really get your own grasp on the world, other worlds, imagination.
