How is the habit of book-reading useful to a person

Reading free novels is like going through someone's thought process. It's like reading their mind in and out. That process gives us many insights about life in general. There are many kind of books out there. Depending on what you're reading, they'll be useful to you. I'll classify a few categories according to my knowledge. Please excuse if there are any inaccuracies. Novels : These are works of fiction. They're fun to read. Few books are generally pot boilers with nothing new to teach. Like the book called “If tomorrow comes.” And there are extraordinary books like ‘The Fountainhead’ which teach you a hell lot. Depending on the book, there are many possibilities. If you choose a random erotica or a stupid sassy romance novel, then it's not going to teach you anything. But might give you pleasure. These novels may or may not teach you something new. Non Fiction : These are everything else apart from fiction novels. Now these books will be more on the ‘Productive’ side. You could read good personality development books. Books on various topics that interest you. Like economics, finance, relationships, science, history etc., Comics : Don't know whether I must mention this as a separate category or not. But chuck it. These are super fun. I personally love all kinda books.. But these are special. They might or might not be informative. At the end, I would like to say that a book can or cannot give you info, knowledge or output based on YOU only. At the end of it all, YOU have to read free novels. If YOU have the capability to comprehend what's written or discussed in a particular book.. You'll definitely understand and learn. And yeah, when you're someone who wants to learn about Time Management but buys ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and says books aren't informative or worth reading, then you are crazy. No offense, but pick the right kind of books. Pick the books that are relevant to you. That's all what I can say. Cheers. Happy Reading.
