Entertainment, teaching yourself things, broadening your horizons, studying, etc, etc

This is a good question, as reading books has become increasingly obsolete in a world of "instant gratification" media. Why read the book when you can watch the movie?.....Well the answer is this--if you train your mind to read by actually doing "real" reading instead of just texts and T.V. guide--eventually you will reach a point (sooner than you think) where your IMAGINATION becomes STRONG. Strong enough to think you out of tight corners, and strong enough to actually SEE what is taking place in the book--in your mind. Your vocabulary will grow; and since being able to more accurately express yourself can be equated to both intelligence and potential for success; it will aid you in all areas of your life, from your love life (write a poem and shes yours) to your career potential (assuming, of course that like 98% of people you could use more money). Plus after your mind is trained; its actually quite enjoyable to read a "good" book (make sure you read something that INTERESTS you or its pointless), and BELIEVE me; I tell you no lies when I say THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE(every.single.time.)
