Do people who love to read really need to know how books benefit them? Maybe not but perhaps they need to have one more article to show their non-reading friends why books are so important. Never tell a bookworm they read too much or have too many books, and if you do, be prepared for a dirty look and possibly a long rebuttal.
I didn’t read because a teacher told me to. I loved books before I could decipher the words. I made up stories to illustrated books before I was taught all my letters. Imagination was seeping out of my pores and it needed an outlet, so yes, books were always my imagination’s receptacle. I read and I gain more magical thoughts. I write to pour out those ideas before my brain overflows – or worse, explodes! So perhaps your non-reading acquaintances don’t have an overload of creative thinking which needs a place to vent, but I plan on pointing out a few things all people need and books definitely deliver the goods.
If your non-reading friends still aren’t convinced how super books are for the mind and soul, then I feel sorry for them. Now it’s time to go find a magical castle where you can read every book on your to-be-read list without real time passing by. I plan on either finding one of these castles stocked with books and snacks or just writing about one someday.
