yes, nowadays am reading a lot...at least to write articles....
Also reading every post of forums...
Now am able to memorize and understand things more easily than before.....because now brain is perfectly in working condition
Yes, reading is a great thing. the concept of reading decreases our stress while preparing for exams. Reading gives a great knowledge to us and relax our mind
Obviously only those interested in reading and writing are on the site. So, it is no use reiterating that any one of us is interested in reading. However, Rambabu has done well to point out benefits of reading. This is good for mental alertness. But too much of reading can also affect eye sight and shift us from world of reality to dream world of books.
We need also be conscious of the stuff that we read. Bad stuff, pornography- too much of this-, superstion promoting books will rather sicken our brain.
All physical activities are good for health. Positive mental work is good for both mind and body.

Yes reading is very important. All people don't have good reading quality. I agree that reading is also important for our health.
I have a habit of reading and Mostly I read Bengali Novel.
I mostly read self help books, new things to learn, devotional books. any interest things

A strange coincidence. Just now I finished a topic in "Self help" books.
Most of the leaders have the habit of reading atleast a book a day. I am also interested in doing that. But I am little bit lazy.
I always keep on reading 'you can win' and in online i read about different secrets like why lord venkateswara or balaji put his hand down words, why punjab guys tye pagdee etc

Reading habit makes you feel confident. It can motivate us to go greater heights. It helps a lot mentally.
I always like to read and it is a fundamental skill builder. It will improve our vocabulary, memory, concentration & focus and creativity.

It also helps us to know other cultures and places.

I don't think the present leaders have the habit of reading books

To be specific, politicians who are popularly called as leaders, from what one can see have neither the intention nor the attitude to take interest in books and reading, their days are full with other matters altogether....Other leaders and intellectuals in other fields might read and keep themselves uptodate ..
Reading is a good habit.Whenever I feel disturb I just opened a book and start reading it.I feel relaxed and fresh.
Obviously only those enthusiastic about studying and composing are on the website. So, it is no use repeating that any one of us is enthusiastic about studying. However, Rambabu has done well to indicate advantages of studying. This is excellent for psychological performance.

Reading is one of the best habits. It helps improving your domain knowledge and general knowledge. Every parent should train their kids on this.
I always tried to skip them, even now I can't read any novel completely... though used to read news paper.. he he.. I know reading is good habit, but never thought that it can be good for health too. In fact it was increasing my stress in my college days when I was seeing lots of materials for reading. :D
Yes reading is a good habit but what to do when you don't get time. I like reading books but seldom do it due to scarcity of time. I normally prefer other ways when I am stressed. :)
