Yeah, because it can help expand your vocabulary. I recently reread the Eragon books, they're really good!

Try Happy i mean Harry Potter. All of em, they are 7, and they are better and more interesting that the movie IMO.

Knowledge is POWER.

 

[Nemus Uchiha]

Actually if you read more you become smarter from the people around you who arent reading.I'm the alive example.


P.S. You wanted good novel.Well you should read Ramond Chandler - The long sleep.

 

[Schɛrzσ]

Yes, it is.
Windows on the World by Frédéric Beigbeder.

 

[Desiigner]

You should read : 'Gone Girl' it's really good.
The movie will come out in October ( for Germany at least )

OT: Yes, reading is good.

EDIT: Oh you wanted a novel... Gone Girl is still good tho

 

[Cursed Prince]

Touching Spirit Bear

The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors (GREAT!)

Firestorm trilogy

 

[Drackos]

Of course reading is fantastic for the development of your brain. Not only does it expand your vocabulary but you will also expand on your understanding of the world, how different perspectives work, and it will expand your imagination (if you are reading fictional). I personally find the most enjoyment out of nonfiction as a history major.

edit:

Fictional books I recommend:
The Eragon series
Game of Thrones

 

[Tobiramen]

Good for your vocab and your smarts
I recommend Song of Solomon, i recently read it and its great

 

[YowYan]

I'm sure there are some scientific answers on what reading does to the brain and wasevah.

I have about 30 books. I'm currently reading Paulo Coelho - Aleph.

 

[Bronze]

It expands your knowledge and improves your reading abilities. As for a book suggestion: I recommend - The Elephant Man.​

 

[Agumon]

Wings of a Falcon is pretty good too.
