In a perfect world, you would read
voraciously — in your free time, for pleasure, while waiting for the train,
while standing in line at the grocery store. You should read because it is one of
the very few leisure pursuits that can actually make you a better person.
Becoming well-read requires that you
read, and reading makes you smarter. Plenty of my pals wouldn’t read a book if
you paid them. They’re enjoyable, clever men but none of them are the
kind of sharp. Reading forces you to sit and focus. It also improves your
vocabulary, and doing it regularly even improves your analytical abilities.
Books are a direct link between the artist’s creative talent and the audience,
and there’s a book that touches on every subject you could ever be interested
in, but that’s not even the kicker. The best thing about a book is
that it tells you half the story and forces you to come up with all the scenery
and information yourself, in a way that TV and video games can’t. Your mind in
forced to fill in the blanks automatically and the product is better than what
anybody could ever spoon-feed you from a screen.
To put it bluntly, be well-read
because it’s to your strong advantage to be so. Put in the work, and let your
mind do the running. Reading is almost an act of sedition in our passive
digital-screen culture. It’s an engaging enterprise, and it’s the way our
ancestors meant to pass on their collected experience. Reading takes the time
and focus a screen will never ask of you, rewarding you with intellectual
riches if you take the time to curl up and focus.
