Every school has at least one book club. Your neighborhood may have a couple more. Elite ladies with rich husbands have a book reading day and you don't get it.

Well, if you're wondering what makes people become bookworms and why they are so hooked to books, you're in the right page. This article will share to you some things that are close to every bibliophile's heart: the joys of reading. Check them out.

• EYE AND HAND COORDINATION. With the exception of e-books and soft copies, flipping the pages and hearing the crisp sound at each turn are the usual activities that most book lovers find delightful. Of course, you read to enrich your mind, but if you're looking for bonuses, here's a good one: Reading facilitates better eye and hand coordination. As you progress, you'll also begin to notice a rhythm which you can take advantage of to boost your reading speed.

• VOCABULARY. Get smart the right way with books. Say goodbye to rote memorization and parroting, and say hello to real and practical learning. When you read, you encounter a number of new words and for you to fully understand them, you will want to consult Mr. Webster or try to guess the positive or negative connotation of the words. The result is a wider vocabulary that you can easily remember and correctly use.

• PAST TIME. Whenever you're grounded, cable TVs unavailable or staying in the library is your only option, you can turn to reading as a past time. Long hours of waiting and silence will appear quite short as the stories that you read entertain you. Do not let the absence of your favorite reading materials dampen your enthusiasm; you can still make use of any on-hand book and while the time away by diligently trying to spot a typo or an error in punctuation. The more absorbed you are in the material, the farther you are from boredom.

• RICH DETAILS. Dig for secrets and the juiciest details which the big screen failed to show you. When you read, you are actually going behind the scenes and uncovering a vast wealth of information that is easily left out in other media. Rich details have always accounted for the advantage of reading over listening to music or watching a movie. For instance, questions such as why, what happened before, who said what, what will happen next and others are almost always extensively explored and answered when you read books.

• VIVID IMAGINATION. Give your beautiful mind a mental treat, and your creativity some challenging exercises. Reading is one of them. You must sort through masses of characters and make sense of the sentences, paragraphs and chapters which the author weaved together to produce the story. Your biggest and fun challenge is always to try to recreate the story and make it come alive in your mind – based only on the things you read. Reading is such a beautiful mind game. It brings out the dreamer and artist in you.

Whatever your reasons may be for reading, dwell in the positive thought that you're actually gifted with five joys whenever you dig your way inside a book.
