Books

I sincerely think that everybody should try to read as many books as possible. It is remarkable and amazing the stories that people can think of. It seems like most of my friends and people I know don't read any books. I don't think there is an excuse for that. There is always time to read; when your in the bathroom, before going to sleep, riding the bus, when you are waiting for anything, doctor, dentist, waiting for class. Maybe people just don't like to read as much as they used to. I guess this is due to television, the internet and video games. But compared to the nonsense that is on the majority of TV nowadays, many written works are way better. Why sit and watch a bunch of idiots on MTV or VH1 when there are incredible stories from authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Mario Puzo and a whole bunch more. (Those are just a few, I was only naming the authors who's books were right in front of me.) Reading is also very beneficial to one's brain. It expands your vocabulary, helps you to read better, and increases your knowledge on literature, and the stories are amazing. Even with all the new mediums that are taking over the world, people should try to embrace reading books as they did fifty or a hundred years ago.
