It can be very hard to find students these days that make it past the table of contents when reading a book. This habit originates from an age where students found that it was too lame or uncool to sit down and read a book. When some people are little, they find reading books to be awesome, but then they get older and the only thing they read is their twitter pages. Then, there are students that always have some sort of book in their hands and love to read. These individuals enjoy the relaxation and escape that reading provides.

“I like the fact that when I’m reading it’s the time for me to focus on something else and get caught up in another world.” Jessica Santilli ‘17 said.

Being expose to many types of literature such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well as modern novels, can help students learn so many things..

“Reading improves writing and expands vocab” Santilli said

Though the big boring textbooks and old classics that student need to carry around do not inspire many students to want to read, they may find that it is not a waste of time. Besides all the academic benefits of reading, students may also find everyday moral lessons in the books they read. Life can be hard and not always turn out the way someone may expect it to, but it may be easier if there is something or someone that can be relatable to it.

“Reading is really enjoyable.” Said Santilli
