Jumping straight into the science here, reading has actually been shown to improve the health of your brain. Scientists looking into a six-month daily reading study at Carnegie Mellon discovered that the volume of white matter (that stuff responsible for carrying nerve impulses between neurons) in the language area of the brain actually increased. Stanford University researchers found reading exercises multiple complex cognitive functions and increases blood flow to different areas of the brain all good stuff. With all that inner-noggin exercising going on, its no wonder readers think differently than non-readers. * +

In addition to increased cognitive function, readers have also been show to demonstrate deeper empathy for others than their non-reader peers. Research by US social scientists has shown that reading literary novels (particular ones with strong social messages) actually helps improve a readers understanding of the feelings, emotions, and experiences of others. If youve ever been so absorbed in a book that the characters actually seem real to you, then you know why this is anytime you step outside yourself and dive into the experience of others, your capacity for compassion and empathy is bound to grow, even if those experiences are fiction. * +

Research has shown that story structure (think the traditional beginning, middle, and end sequence) encourages our brains to think in this sequence as wellteaching the brain to think in similar sequence, and searching for cause-and-effect links. The more you read, the more your brain is able to improve its ability to process a longer cause/effect structure, thereby increasing your attention span and improving your ability to focus for longer periods of time. Which means you can read for longer periods of time Sounds like a win/win to me. * +
