A good post to underline the significance of reading @dc004 Being a student of literature, i, with no disagreements support your opinion. In last 2 year I have read almost 40 books and yeah reading books is not about only strengthening vocabulary, but it's more about learning of new principles which further broadens the mind of the reader. Most importantly one should not limit oneself to one kind of books, reading done in different genres is as important as reading itself. I will be sharing a post on my blog soon, in which I will suggest 20 books, helpful in growth of individual.
