WHY READING BOOKS IS BETTER THAN READING ARTICLES
                     WHY READING BOOKS IS BETTER 
THAN READING ARTICLES

online shopping for books related to various aspects including 
history, polity and economics.
With the advancement of computers and the Internet, article reading has 
become one of the major hobbies of many millennial men and women. 
There are actually hundreds and thousands of websites and each of them 
offers excellent articles on a variety of different topics. A well-written 
article is not only engaging and informative but it helps to cultivate the 
thought process in a major way.

With all that being said, one would assume that article reading is enough 
and book reading may not be required. Even though it is true that readers 
are different and some people would normally be inclined to read articles 
since they feel that they have less time to devote to a book. It is generally 
accepted  that reading a book is definitely a lot better than reading an 
article. Let us see why this is so.
An article can cover a specific topic and explore it lightly so that the 
readers can have the information they need quickly and concisely. 
Therefore an article can help people to grasp certain core points about a 
subject matter in a short span of time. In this way, we can say that a well-
written article can certainly be a valuable reading experience.

However, reading a book goes much deeper than that. Since an article has 
the limitation of making the topic understood in a short span of time with 
very limited length of the content, it cannot do justice to many concepts 
that are more complicated and knowledgeable. There is no time to 
explore ideas with a rich depth of concepts as that would not be possible 
in the article word limit which is just a page or two. On the other hand, 
the whole idea of reading a book is all about the indepth knowledge and 
exposure that it can provide.

Whether you are reading a work of fiction or nonfiction, a book is all 
about providing you with a rich and indepth experience that you may not 
immediately understand by reading just two pages. However, by the time 
you read a full book, you will have gone on a journey into the thoughts 
and intricacies of the subject. You will see the world through the 
perspective of the author and it is going to make you a changed individual.

Whether you realize this immediately or not, every book that you read is 
going to have a profound impact on you and is going to change you from 
within on a more or less permanent basis. It is for this reason that reading 
a book is considered to be a much more powerful experience than reading 
an article can ever be.
Books can be extremely powerful and bring a transformation in thought 
process, in a way that articles can never really hope to do. The rich inner 
experience that you can have with books can not only help you to 
cultivate your imagination and language skills but also enable you to 
cultivate new thoughts or think in a better way. Therefore when you 
choose to read one books, you get to become more empowered from 
within.
