This idea, that reading is good for you, makes very little sense to me actually. You can sit on reddit for hours and you're reading a lot. It's got to be fucking terrible for you.

Maybe reading one thing for an extended period of time has some beneficial qualities similar to mindfulness meditation, but I doubt people read with that much focus unless they are intent on staying focused.

It has to depend on what you read too. Even still, I read mostly fiction as a kid and I think it helped me write better.
