I think that more people should be reading. I feel that reading is fun, it can make you smarter, even if only by a little bit, and books can also be just for fun.

People should read more because I think that reading is very fun when you find either a book you like or a genre you like. I think this because I only really enjoy some genres of books, not all. I read different genres until I found the genre I like. I think that if more people do this, more people would like to read. Dr. David Lewis in 2009 researched that even six minutes of reading everyday can reduce stress up to 68%. 

I think that books can make you smarter by exposing yourself to more words. I believe that reading more everyday can increase your vocabulary. If you take the time to understand what you are reading, it can improve your vocabulary, general knowledge, and empathy. 

I also believe that books are for fun! Not all books have to teach you things. Books can teach by just reading the words. I think that books are for fun because most of the books I read are fiction, specifically fantasy. I think that these books are all for fun because none of the books I own are non-fiction. Fiction books are made up, but they can also have real things in them. The books you read are entirely up to you. 

These are the reasons why I think that people should read more often.
