You may be a bibliophile or maybe not. Might be an occasional reader or an avid one. Books maybe a way to success or just a way to escape the reality and journey to the unknown. Fiction or Non-fiction, books are just books and not a quest to conquer.
Joseph Addison quoted, "Reading is to the Mind what Exercise is to the Body". Reading enriches the brain with new thoughts and in a way exercises it. However one thing should be noted that it should come within. One shouldn't force you to against your will.
I first started reading when I was 8 years old. It was recommended to read before bedtime. Yes, you can say that it includes in being forced but it was not actually. One wasn't obliged too, it was activity one was recommended to but wasn't put off when not done. We had once a week one-to-one reading session wherein we would just read one chapter before lunch break I guess.
The above mentioned activity just enhanced the fact one enjoys reading or not. If yes, like me, you could continue with rest of the books on the level. If not, then maybe you've not found "your" book yet or not fond of reading.
As you know, emotional connect makes things last long. Even actions. Read maybe enjoyable for one but not all. A not-so-nice connect might exist between one and books.
For the last word, don't consider reading to be beneficial, or required or even important. It should be Enjoyable.
If you wish to start off your Reading Journey, I would recommend to start with Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. It might be your first step towards an Enjoyable Reading Journey!
