5. IT's not limited to YOUR IMAGINATION
Reading indulges your imagination. When you turn on a television, there is no need to imagine anything because it is already placed before you in a visual setting. Reading is not like that. When you read, you have to come up with your own visual images to go along with the book. Sometimes when I am beginning a book, I will stop and take a few minutes to just sit and think about how I want the characters to appear to me. It is quite enjoyable to do so.
