Don't be one of those people. Start reading books regularly because it has way too many benefits. These are some of the benefits that I believe can attract people to read books:
Reading books can increase your memory a lot. You have to remember specific character traits and descriptions, certain places and memorize all the things that are going on in the book. Obviously, you won't remember everything you read but the more you read, the more you will memorize everything and not only what's going on in the book. You will just have a better memory in your daily life. You will develop a very strong memory and you'll be able to remember things with all the details that happened even 10 or 20 years ago.
When you read books, you will shape your personality. You might start borrowing specific traits from a book character because if you really get into reading, you will feel like you're the character, like you're the one that's being described there. The process of reading can feel like you are having the conversations and it can make you more understanding and empathetic.
This one might be rather obvious. The more you read, the more words and phrases you know and remember. This helps a lot when you want to write about something. Ideas come faster to you and the ability to express your thoughts in written form increases very much. This is especially good if you find it hard to write about anything and you fail to generate any good ideas or thoughts.
Knowledge is power... And books are one of the best sources for knowledge. You will feel more intellectual and more confident about yourself. You never know when all the knowledge from the books you read will be useful in your life.
When you're reading a book, you have to immerse yourself into the book to fully enjoy and experience the book, leaving the outer world for a while. By doing so, your concentration and focus will increase. This helps a lot in your daily life. It becomes easier to do specific tasks and not only easier but faster as well. This is really good for people who fail to focus at all.
Reading will improve your imagination and creativity. While you're watching TV, the image is given to you and there is no need to imagine it in your head. While reading, you have to use your brain to actually imagine everything that is written and create the image in your head. You will break your creativity and imagination limitations. This helps in your daily life, since you will come up with a lot of amazing ideas and solutions to some problems that you might have in your life.
You feel less stress while reading. Since you have to concentrate on reading, you will be able to escape from all the stress and worries that you might have in the daily world we live in. Of course, reading books is not the only way to reduce stress and worries, but it's definitely one of the best ways to lose yourself in your imagination without any worries at all.
Most readers can look trough people very well. Simply, because while reading, you can start developing the ability to understand and feel emotions much better. You can start predicting what's going on in ones head and what is the person feeling right now. This especially works really good in a relationship since you can understand your partner much better without even the need of talking to each other much.
Well, I guess you've heard this one a thousand times already, right ? But I feel like I should still include this benefits anyway. Reading really does make you more attractive. Of course not in the physical form. Intellect is sexy and books make you smarter. That's really all there is to it. Smarter people tend to attract more people into their life. And that means more potential for love relationships as you will be much more interesting as a person (and much more seducing)
Once you actually get into it, reading is fun and entertaining. Books are not only about benefits and improvements. It's really an awesome activity that brings so many benefits into your life. If you never found books to be fun or entertaining, the problem might be with the books you tried reading. If you choose the genres that you don't like, reading will be a pretty bad experience for you. For example, I don't find non-fiction books that entertaining. But I just love a good romance or a comedy book.
As you can see these are quite good benefits that you shouldn't simply overlook. Books can improve your life quite a lot and make you much smarter. It's all up to you. If you don't take action, you will never be able to improve or change your life for the better. So just pick up a book, stop making excuses and start reading something. You might just get hooked on it and you'll never imagine life without books again.
