As any book lover knows, there’s nothing quite so amazing as reading a book you simply can’t put down. For many of us, the love affair starts early, a la one fish, two fish. Then we get older, perhaps going through a vampires-and-romance phase (sure, today’s teens have Twilight, but teens of the 90s had Interview with the Vampire). And don’t forget the power of the magical wizard epic or an addictive biography. Fantasy or reality, reading is an indulgence that’s very good for you — the United Nations credits literacy with all sorts of important things, including ”ensuring sustainable development, peace and democracy.”
