I love reading, I think its good for the brain and an important way to prevent ameloid plaque buildup that has been shown to influence Alzheimer's progression.

I too love reading, it isn't just for entertainment but also a means of language acquisition and communication as well.

Absolutely, I think it builds on itself too, the more you read, the better you can read I mean.

It absolutely does, practice helps with anything! It is just such a complex interaction between what is written and the person reading it, since it goes off of prior knowledge and culture too.

I agree, it helps to know the culture of the era of the book you are reading to gain a better understanding. Its a shame that people who don't read lose the ability to visualize what they're reading,

I know, reading is so important anyway that we should do it more often! It's also so complex that it cannot be restricted to just one or two interpretations of what it really is.

Yep, I suppose in a way people read a lot because they are on their phones, but isn't the same kind.
