Why Reading in Public is Important

I’ve always been the girl who brings a book with her. It doesn’t matter where I’m going. Having a book with you means you’ll have something to read in those moments in life that seem to drag. But there are other reasons to read in public besides filling time and getting through your book a little faster.
Learning Empathy Through Reading

I’ve realized I do this because what I love most about reading is that I get to experience someone else’s life and see the world from their perspective. I know that I’ve learned much from reading stories and books. I know that I’m a better person because of what I’ve read. I’m a kinder, more empathetic person because of what I’ve read.
