It's no secret that I read a lot. I know that that there are PLENTY of people that don't read. Take a look at these stats:

25% of adults will not read a single book this year
33% of high school graduates never read another book for their entire life
42% of college graduates never read another book after college
80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year

That's a SAD state of affairs. I'm going to do what I always do and hit you with 5 points on what reading does for you:

1. Creates Confidence.
2. Be Deliberate.* (I will explain)
3. Vocabulary EXPANSION.
4. Increases Creativity. (*and then you can be your own person and stop copying)
5. Concentration (which leads to focus which helps you conquer goals).
