They say that you only have to dedicate leisure time to reading, that when you read you lose time and you earn absolutely nothing; the truth is that it is a beneficial mental exercise since it has been demonstrated that those who read actively are able to increase the connectivity with their neurons.
During reading, brain regions that trigger imagination processes from the events of the narration are triggered and memories and some personal situations come to mind, as well as stimulating the capacity for concentration and fostering creativity.
In reading other realities, other truths and even lies are known. It is a very beautiful magic that is created when practicing this beautiful habit, this is why I want to recommend some books that will teach you enough about life, love and pain, with this believe me you will grow a lot literary and personally.
