Why literature:

The trend that is evident in reading is that most book lovers cling to ‘’self-help’’ books, in vain hopes that they will let them build up life skills and shift their mindset. To be honest, I personally do not approve of these books, and would recommend you to engage yourself in literary works.

First, novels develop around real-life events. Stories that are made up by authors include scenarios that might well happen in real life, which means that you can learn from mistakes made by protagonists, or good deeds done by them. This closeness to reality also lets you deepen your imagination, which might trigger fresh ideas.

Second, literary works give you a chance to see the world through many lenses. Each character is unique and has a distinct mental outlook. This means that you come across with different perspectives - something that enriches your mind much better than any self-help book.

Finally, literature has an educational power. Most works of literature involve the vivid description of events that were taking place at the time of their creation, deepening your knowledge of history; what’s more, intricate phrases and words used by the author will certainly become part of your lexical resource, and this process will boost your communication. Being able to delicately form and express your opinions will make an impression on those around you that you are well-rounded and educated.
