Reading is good for you

Picture
Reading improves memory and cognitive ability. When you read or listen to stories, visualize the characters and scenes, and feel the emotions of the characters, your brain releases the "feel good hormone".

​This hormone, dopamine, is the primary driver of the brain's reward system. It spikes when we experience something we enjoy.

You can get quite a few pleasurable dopamine hits in my store.
