Does reading do us any good?

A great read for those of us who value reading.

I've known all kinds of pleasure, but for me, nothing beats reading books.

And a few years ago, at the hospital in the looney bin where's the main occupations is waiting, an old lady, seeing me holding a bool, told me:

The one who reads is protected from boredom.

Lots of peeps usually say that boredom can be fruitful. That's true, but only to a degree.

Anyway, reading this article's title immediatly made me curious about what's being said in it.

Enjoy!
