I can never express how important it is to read... and I'm not just talking about my blog here. Reading is critical for some many reasons!
As an educator it is an absolute chore to get any student to read. Why you ask? Glad you asked that... it is really quite simple. People are lazy. People are lazy and don't want to take the time to invest a couple hours in reading. Reading is a multi-faceted exercise we learn from it consciously and unconsciously, it helps with our lexicon, it helps with our compositions and it fosters our imagination. It can also help you learn cool words.. like 'lexicon'.
I read a lot and I read a bit of everything. Right now I am reading textbooks which is not so much fun but I can still figure out a lot of interesting things from them me getting paid to do it is just a plus I guess. So far I've gone through the two lowest levels of books and I am on to the 'pre-intermediate' level. I've already done this before but it's worth doing again.
Casually I have finished re-reading 'The Walking Dead' which I think a lot of people are fans of these days... If you have watched the show and enjoy it get off your rear and pick up the collected editions they are definitely worth your while. A note of warning the pictures are in black and white!
So there you go... get out there and read... read anything and everything
