15 Reasons Why You Should Be Reading Books
All you need is 1, but I’ll give you so many options — you will have no choice but to pick up that book.
I am a staunch advocate of reading books. I read ebooks and listen to audio, but I get the most impact from one I can touch. With an actual book, I turn the passive activity of reading into an active one.

And reading is that vehicle that will take you anywhere.
