Mark Twain - 'The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.' This statement pretty much elucidates the advantage of reading books. You ought to read to put yourself ahead of the crowd. It is said that you are partly a reflection of the kind of people you socialize with. You learn things from human interactions. You hone your cognition by learning new things from the closest social circle. But there’s a limit and you tend to stagnate your cognitive process; like a frog in a well.
Books can break this barrier and elevate your wisdom. A wise man is always respected. When you show immense knowledge, people turn to you for your opinions in decision making. You are an alpha amongst the largely unread crowd. Your sharp acumen means you can quickly rise to the top.
Choosing the right book is important. Extensive reading in various genres has its own advantages:
History and political books will make you shrewd and help you move crowds and win arguments.
Science books will give you insights into the unknown.
Biographies of eminent people will help you improve your personality. Philosophy will morally enlighten you.
Fantasy fiction will entice your imagination.
Crime fiction will enhance logical reasoning.
Adventure novels will give you unknown and unforeseen experiences.
Religious/Spiritual books will give you philosophical views of various belief systems of the world, and their search for the meaning of creation as well as what you are.
Reading can make you travel through dimensions. You forget your world and move into a world created by the author. You let your mind wander into worlds where no man has gone. You begin to interact with ideas and characters at the subconscious level. At this level you've created banks of data to help you deal with real world problems far more effectively than the man who does not read.
