Reading books doesn't make you smarter.
I don't get where this idea came from. Filling your brain with more pointless information that isn't relevant in real life while also cutting yourself away from society to read the book will actually do the opposite, in my opinion.
Edit: I'm talking about novels here.

I'm sure this is bait. I love to read thrillers. It is an enjoyable way to pass the time.

4 RespostasEditado por gethyn007: 8/7/2016 9:23:43 PMInterestingly enough, it would likely only be someone who doesn't read very much at all who would say that reading doesn't make you smarter. :D Just google, "how does reading make you smarter." There are loads of sources explaining this and lots of studies to back it up. As for personal experience, I'd have to say that the overwhelming majority of the smartest people I've ever known were indeed avid readers. I'd also say that most intelligent folks are naturally drawn to activities such as reading. Many comparisons can be made. For example, think of it like athletes and physical attributes, such as strength, speed, endurance, health, and overall fitness. Athletes are usually drawn toward more physical activities such as sports or exercise, and of course, those who exercise regularly will pretty much always possess far more of these sort of physical attributes compared to couch potatoes.

I guess the biggest thing would be the vocabulary.

I have read some novels that make you think about life in interesting ways.

1 ResponderSo a book on personal finance won't makes you smarter? GG

1 ResponderDepends what books. If I read a textbook on psychology I will be more intelligent in that field than someone who hasn't

Welp, there goes the chain of logic proving that people with glasses tend to be smarter. Are smart -> Read books -> Use eyes more -> Lens deterioration or something -> Need glasses

I can only read books with pictures in them. In our team handbook though, the pictures lied. When you hold a grenade above your head, it doesn't shoot arrows at the enemies. It just explodes in your face

4 RespostasIt can increase your vocabulary, make you form sensible sentences more swiftly, and you gain more knowledge about story structure (fiction) or information (non-fiction). But if you are like me (when I read avidly...sadly I dont anymore) and get ingrossed in a book, I tend to not look at the words, rather I day dream about the story.

I am a living testimony that it does.

I highly disagree. Books are very important and can be a key factor in learning about different things. Tell me, how would reading a book on Zoroastrianism not make you more intelligent? You know have a greater knowledge on a certain topic.

Depends on what one is reading.

We all learn by experiencing things. By reading books, we experience something the author has written for us, with the dull filler life normally has cut out of it. That's the way I see it, at least.
