How have you benefited from reading?

Amongst other things, reading has helped me develop a deeper understanding of life?

Reading has picked me up in those moments when I thought nothing else could. It is a part of who I am and helps me to constantly question the world rather than just accept it :)

I agree Adrian, Apart from improving my writing and giving me hope, books gave me insight, a new view about the world. I see things better and understand them better; things effect me in different ways now.

I am a different person now and so proud of who I am today, as a person. Thanx to literature, music and some movies too. And the honour goes to all the writers behind these creative pieces.
