Reading books builds and improves reader's vocabulary. A reader would find new words, apply them adequately and improves his sentence construction.When one reads different books, he or she would discover the style to write effectively, improving spellings, grammatical errors, applying the mechanics involved to make his article or content grammatically accurate if not perfect.

Do you have the habit of reading books? What kind of book do you prefer to read?

Sure! I don't think I can do without reading good books. This habit has been helping me right from college years, learning new words and using them adequately. I have knowledge about many fields of human endeavour and their vocabularies. When I explain, you would think I have a career in them but No! It's reading the terminologies in those fields. The advantage could be because I'm a teacher of English Language as English seeks to explain in detail the vocabularies associated with every field.

The kind of books I read are Inpirational and Motivational books from great authors, English Language Textbooks, Literary books, Journals etc.

*Examples:

“Think and grow Rich”- Napoleon Hill

“Rich Dad Poor Dad”- Robert T. Kiyosaki

"Merchant of Vernice"- Macbeth

“Animal Farm” -George Orwell

“The Millionaires Next Door” --Thomas J Stanley and William D. Tanko

“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” – Stephen Covey

And all other ones not mentioned here.
