The value of reading

Reading gives a person a deep knowledge in various subjects. Normally people read for pleasure at their leisure times some make it a hobby. An avid reader is a well versed person. Any article on any subject is the game for him. There are so many things to read such as articles, short stories, magazines, periodicals, biographies and the like. However one must know what to read and what not to read.

        Reading is a good mental relax exercise which develops our brain and mental power. We need to know the particular language to read the book written in that language. Reading also improve our language skills like vocabulary pronunciation and understanding idiomatic expressions. 

              Some of our ancient people couldn't  read by themselves, so they used to go to places like temples. Where Jataka stories were read by the buddhist priests in the presence of the audience.
