In the world that is dominated by new age technology, people are slowly shying away from all the things that they classify as being old school and uncool. People stop listening to the radio and listen instead on their iPod. People ditch conventional wristwatches for high technology ones that are able to function as a sort of extension for your phone. People hardly read hardcover and paperback books anymore, much less new suspense novels.
Reading with the use of an actual book is slowly being forgotten by the majority of the population today. They would rather just watch the cinema adaptations of the bestselling books in movie theaters. They would rather just watch TV, too, since some of the series are derived from novels as well. Nobody would want to bring one anymore when one could just bring his or her mobile phone or any similar android device and read the story online.
This way of thinking of most modern people has actually gotten them on a disadvantage. They, unless they get into the habit, will never feel the unexplainable delight brought about by a new book. They will never get to experience the tactile pleasure of opening a just purchased book for the first time. Most online reads do not come along with that familiar scent of old pages. A book is actually way better than gadgets, as it does not run out of battery, is relatively cheap, and can be carried safely anywhere.
As it is, there are so many benefits of reading, even fiction ones. People often scoff at the fiction genre because they say there is nothing to be gained from it. Sometimes, readers are often discouraged from reading fiction such as romance novels, sci fi, crime, mystery, thriller, and suspense.
For starters, there is actually an amount of truth in these books. Sometimes, even biographies and history accounts can lie to make the person look good, but these made up stories always say the truth in the simplest way possible. They make one experience the truth is the most powerful, gripping way possible.
Reading also stimulates mental functions. A mentally stimulated mind can help prevent the onset of Alzheimers and dementia, the two most destructive enemies of the think process. Reading to the mind is what exercise is to the body, so to stay brain healthy, it is recommended that you read more.
Reading can be quite engaging, too, and it keeps your mind off things. Suspense and mystery types compel one to read from beginning to end, and develop their own judgments and ideas. Before you know it, you have already forgotten about the nagging problem at the office that has been bothering you all day before you decided to read.
It also broadens your horizons. Getting lost in a novel will help you learn about the world. Even if you are not a detective or a spy, following the adventures of such a character will give you a glimpse of the life that they have. Inside a book, you can be anybody.
It also stimulates critical thinking. A well written suspense thriller will get you to formulate your own thoughts on what you think will happen next. It will also give you a good lesson on formulating judgments and opinions.
