I wish all of you are fine and having a beautiful day. Today, I am privileged to be part of this interesting challenge initiated by @shiftitamanna on an interesting theme which is; Benefits of Reading Books. It seems like reading has always been one of the most important things in people’s existence that gives inspiration, knowledge, and desire for improvement; this contest aims to help people to explain why books are so valuable in our lives. It is really a very good topic because reading, in whatever form, is so beneficial for us in many ways, for example knowledge gain, stress relief or a way to travel to different worlds through a book.

✅ Do you think reading books can enrich our knowledge?

Of course, one of the most effective practices to increase our knowledge is reading books. Books are a source of a virtually unlimited number of ideas, experiences, and reflection which may not be found in one’s life. Intelligently, if they broaden our knowledge on various subject matters or increase the diverse angles and cultures. Whether the books are fiction which poses readers to a realm of human and creative horizons or nonfiction which provides facts and practice intellectual skills the readers receive something from each type of book. What has been read is not only important but worth it because the read knowledge affects our mindset, development, and prepares us for the world. Each book broadens our knowledge, deepens our insight, and kicks our thinking to a sharper critical edge. It is a habit that makes our minds more enriched, becomes more informed, more open minded people.

✅ Tell us about the importance of reading books to improve writing skills.

In my opinion, the only way to get better at writing is to reading books. When we read, we take in the language, style and structure that good writers use to tell us how to say what we want to say. Reading many different books exposes us to many genres, many tones, many words, which then give us more varied language, and more tools that we can use to articulate what we want to articulate very clearly or very creatively.

To realize how authors string together their arguments, how they build characters, or how they tell their stories, we learn how to do it ourselves, too. It’s a bit of a silent mentor, where whatever book you read, you get some kind of lessons, you can pick it up and get a lesson of how to write. Regular reading is absolutely essential for refinement of writing, I believe, for anyone who is looking to do so.

✅ Do you have the habit of reading books? What kind of book do you prefer to read?

---

Yes, absolutely! I’ve held on to this habit since my teenage years and loved having it and being a part of this habit has been something I’ve grown with my life. At that time I used to love Humayun Ahmed’s books, especially his "Himu series"and "Misir Ali," also "Bristy bilash" "Deyal" "Megh Boleche Jabo Jabo". His storytelling stayed with me. I also like the works of Samaresh Majumdar such as, "Shat Kahon", "Kalbela", and "Agnirath". I also like Rabindranath Tagore’s classics "Chokher Bali" and "Ghore Baire" and his collections of poetry.

I’ve read lots of books about lots of stuff, over time, but my favorites are action, stand up, detective, mystery, novel, comedy, and science fiction. When I find the chance, I get to revisit some of my all time favourite books especially books of Humayun Ahmed who is always special to me.

✅ Tell us about five benefits of reading books.

Reading books possess a lot of benefits for our personal as well as intellectual development, in my opinion. Here are five key benefits of reading that I truly value:

🔹Expands Knowledge: From books you will learn about many topics and get broad range of knowledge and introduce you insights you will not have in your day to day life.

🔹Improves Focus and Concentration: Reading is a learning to be patient, paying your attention and training your mind to concentrate and stay focused.

🔹Boosts Vocabulary and Language Skills: Reading new words and phrases naturally helps us with our vocabulary becoming better communicators.

🔹Reduces Stress and Promotes Relaxation: Reading comes as an escape and to just read a little, even for a few minutes a day, eases our stress.

🔹Enhances Imagination and Creativity: Books bring us to new worlds, bring ideas for creativity and thinking outside of the box.

And that’s just a few among the many reasons why I think that reading is such an important habit to have. Too enriched, our knowledge, empathy, inspiration are more précised.
