Reading literature doesn’t just improve your power of imagination. / It also expands your capacity for creative reasoning. / A study has shown that reading literature makes you more open-minded. / It releases you from the pressures of real world decision-making, / and lets you enter the mindset of those characters / who are often very different from yourself. / You may not be as imaginative as a famous writer, / but reading helps you see the world through his/her eyes. / The simple act of opening a book and diving into its world / opens the brain up to new ways of thinking.
