Why You Should Read

Top ten reasons, baby. Let's go.

1. You learn things;;
   For instance – I learned how to kill vampires because of books. I also learned that it is possible to be allergic to everything, that the best way to incapacitate a person is to get them in the legs, that cancer has some perks, that true love is totally awesome, and several new swear words.
   
   
2. You gain better language skills;;
   Like I said above, lots of new words. Big words, small words, bad words, you name it.
   
   
3. You gain better spelling;;
   Lots of words. Got it.
   
   
4. Other people read too;;
   People sound super cool when they can say “I read that!” to a teacher. Also, you can get some summer reading out of the way without realizing it. And I'd date a reader. Just saying.
   
   
5. Better analysis skills;;
   Analyzing books is never fun, but it's much easier if you read often. Seriously, though, it's true.
   
   
6. Cooler insults;;
   Calling people mudbloods and sucubi is much more fun if you know what they mean. Bonus points if the other party doesn't.
   
   
7. Cooler fandoms;;
   The book fandoms are LITERALLY the coolest people you will ever meet. Especially when they don't have movies to match – then there's amazing fanart and fanfics to read, and plus, lots of merch even without faces to put on them.
   
   
8. You can waste time while looking learned;;
   There is nothing sophisticated in playing on your phone to pass time. Reading, however, will not only make you look super adorable when you sit and your hair falls in your face (at least, I hope), but it will also show the adults around you that you are a mature individual who can carry on a conversation without using text speak. Probably.
   
   
9. They smell good;;
   Hey, don't judge me. Books smell great.
   
   
10. It's fun.
    No joke, reading is fun. Ignore the losers who say it's for nerds, reading is something everyone should do. Plus, it makes you super cool and you'll probably get a girlfriend, boys. Just look at tumblr – full of single females who love to read. Like me (*wink wink*).

Look, instead of reading this, read a book. Read all the books. READ ALL THE BOOKS.

Then send me some, would you? :D
