Thoughts on Reading

Most everyone will agree that reading is important. But why, is reading important?
- It's an easy way to keep yourself educated.
We hear a lot about continuing education. Reading – and understanding what you read – is a manageable way to learn more, to keep up with your field, and to expand your knowledge into new areas.
- It does not have to cost a lot of money.
You can pick up a book for a handful of dollars, or go to your local library and borrow the book from there.
If you're more into reading things online, Project Gutenberg has an extensive library of books that are available for free through the public domain. Also, Daily Lit will send you portions of a book to read through your e-mail.
- It can open up new opportunities.
As you spend time reading, you will continue to expand your knowledge. As you learn more, who knows what new opportunities will come to you because of your new knowledge.
