The Best Hobby in the World

Reading is a great hobby. It is allows you not only to relax, but to escape your daily problems and look for the freedom from anxiety, for you can be learning while you do it. It is an easy habit to cultivate that will let you obtain many benefits. Besides, you don’t need very much to begin. First, it is a completely free activity that anyone can do. You don’t need to move, and it is not necessary to spend much money. You only need a book to start. In addition, there is a topic for every taste. Also, many things can be learned from books. For example, from a historic novel you can learn about famous men and women. You can learn about many places that you have never visited or remember the places that you once learned about. You can learn about other cultures and customs or more about your own culture, and books can help you discover many things that you never imagined existed. Finally, you can enter a fantasy world traveling with the author to discover completely new places that you have never imagined and to know extraordinary figures that only exist in your mind. Moreover, this can let you live a complete adventure using the most powerful resource of humankind, the imagination. For these reasons we can say, reading is for knowledge, amusement or curiosity, and it is the best hobby that we can have. Not only does it help us relax, but it makes us grow as persons giving us the biggest power that any person can have- knowledge which is the key to freedom.
