I wholeheartedly agree with you, and to add on to your points here...
We live in a world where all the content of the world is available to you on the tip of your fingers, and as a side effect of that, our attention spans have gone to absolutely sh*t.
Reading books helps us calm our mind, and take a step back, and fix this society induced ADHD. I know it did for me, ever since I picked up reading again. I have never looked back!!
Thank you for this amazing post Katie!
