Read a Book Day

Reading improves memory and concentration as well as reduces stress.

There are around 130 million published books. The most sold book is the Bible. The longest book in the world is 'Remembrance of Things Past'. The most expensive book in the world is 'the Codex Leicester'.

This day encourages people to read books and spread the love of reading. The goal of this is to encourage people to read more and help build a culture of reading. Every book counts.

Reading reduces stress by 68 percent. By reading just 20 minutes per day, you will actually end up reading 1.8 Million words in one year. With an average of 500 words per page, that means you would read 3,600 pages per year. That's 12 books with 300 pages each. Reading is the fastest way to build vocabulary.
