You need to read more books

Reading

Reading is one of the most important ways to acquire knowledge. 

The knowledge you gain is cumulative and grows exponentially. Learning new things and solving new problems is easier when you have a strong knowledge base. Reading a wide range of books will help increase your general knowledge. Specific knowledge can be gained by an in-depth study of a topic or subject. Filling your brain with new facts, new information, and new ideas will make you a better interlocutor because you always have something interesting to share.


You can think of a book as a tree of knowledge, with some basic concepts forming the trunk and details forming the branches. You can learn more and improve reading comprehension by "linking branches" and integrating your current book with other knowledge trees.


I won't detail all the reasons why reading books (and not just internet articles or magazines) is good for your brain. I think by reading this article, you will be convinced that there is value in reading more. If you need some convincing, check this out. It might just convince you.


Reading more books can be fun and rewarding.

Even more interesting, reading books will cost less and keep you entertained for longer. Especially at the local library, you can display many exciting novels. You can find and have fun with books on any topic that interests you.


From self-help books to reading novels, there are many ways to learn more about life. Even if you're feeling down, you can read inspirational biographies to lift your spirits. One of the great things about reading books is that the knowledge you gain from books is never taken away. Unlike worldly possessions, your knowledge will stay with you until the end of time.


You might also be thinking about what you need to give up to make room for more reading in your life. If you're not spending every day doing anything right now, other activities will inevitably be sidelined as you read more books. You can deal with this situation head-on by reviewing your routine and identifying bad habits you can break. Just as finding new reading clues can be helpful, you can try removing clues for habits you don't want, such as: for example, keeping your TV remote out of sight in a drawer, or setting a rule not to bring your phone to your bed. "It's very useful to realize that [forming a new habit] is a replacement process," Gardner said. "But you have to come up with your own strategies based on old behaviors and clues to start thinking about how to break old habits."

 

I personally find it difficult to read books, but I've committed to starting a book every two months. To use my imagination and creativity, I also made the decision to write fiction novels. The introduction to my second book, Mirror, a horror book, is provided here. 


Please let me know below if you think I should keep writing or if you have any suggestions for the types of novels you enjoy reading.


MIRROR (The Unknown Territory)

The face slowly morphs into that of Rusty’s father. Wider angle.  We are in a cramped funeral parlor.  Rusty sits across from his father dressed in a black suit.  His mother, Ruth, is behind him in a black dress.  She dons a black veil over her face.  There is an urn in the middle.  Rusty reaches to touch his father’s fingers, when suddenly.  His father’s hand jerks in a violent reflex, grabbing at his chest. A high-pitched wheezing can be heard.  His father slowly curled his hand into his chest with each breath.  It looks like his father is struggling for each breath.  Finally, Rusty forces his fingers closer to his father’s hand.  He has a glaze of tears.  He pulls back.  He looks down at his father.  His father’s eyes are closed.  He takes one last gasp, then falls lifeless to the casket.  His family mutes their screaming.  Moments later, his father’s coffin lowers to the ground.  When the coffin is lowered, there’s the wheezing sound again.  It’s louder this time, sounding more desperate like he’s actually fighting for every breath.  The crowd tries to fight their way closer but is held back by a line of cemetery workers.  Near the grave site, a priest turns to the crowd.


He gestures with his hand and the crowd slowly backs away. Once the crowd is gone, the priest finishes the ceremony........... To be continued
