I started a new blog, and the first post on it was my pet topic – reading. I am – well, was, to be honest – a voracious reader (as I told you in my first post). I like fiction more than non-fiction, and I believe that all of us should read novels, plays, and poetry once in a while. And why, you ask?

Here are 5 reasons why I think we all should read fiction.

1. You Improve Your Language

Maurice Sendak

Benjamin Franklin
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

Shashi Deshpande
“Marriage is a very strange thing. It’s a very public institution, it’s meant to tell the world that two people are going to live together, to declare that their children will be legal, that these children can inherit their property. It’s meant for social living, to ensure that some rules are observed, so that men and women don’t cross the lines drawn from them. At the same time, marriage is an intensely private affair, no outsider will know the state of some one else’s marriage. It’s a closed room, a locked room…”
Shashi Deshpande
