BENEFITS OF BOOK READING
Reading is a culture that is not well developed in African. An average African man will prefer to read a magazine that is full of pictures (entertainment) than reading the one that is full of beneficial information. Somebody said if you want to hide anything for a black man simply put it in a book because he will not read. I think for us to advance we need to start paying a rapt attention to improve our reading culture.
