Hey people!
I wonder what is it that is different in people who are regular book readers as compared to non-readers; more specifically, people who read FICTION .
Studies have found regular readers to be more empathetic and more Emotionally-intelligent....What other characteristics do you think are influenced in people who read books regularly?

Part of it is reading speed. Those who read slowly tend to not like to read as much (reading more would help that).
Also, nonreaders tend to not be able to visualize what they are reading. Nonreaders tend to prefer movies so someone else can show them what the author is describing.

I think attention span/patience also plays a part in this. With modern technology and instant gratification, the time it takes to read a book just seems long to some. They see a 500 page book and think of how long it will take to finish as opposed to how much they will enjoy the story within. Reading was more common in the past because it was largely the only form of entertainment they had.
