Advantages You Get To Enjoy From New Suspense Novels

By Marylou Forbes


These modern times are ruled by modern technology. People are already used to using all those things that are manipulated by a single touch. They are attracted to stuff that looks really sleek, preferably in clinical white, darkest black, and chrome colors. Anything that is too bulky is regarded with distaste, as most modern gadgets pride themselves of being small yet able to do big. Stereos and radios are being replaced by iPods and phone docking devices. Nobody ever reads new suspense novels in paperback editions anymore that it is easy to forget that reading books once swept the world by storm.

It is a saddening fact, but more and more people are actually refraining from reading good old hardbound covers and paperback editions anymore. If they want to know the story of a bestselling novel, they would just wait for it to be turned into a movie. They would also rather read one online, as mobile phones and tablets are relatively lighter than most books.

What these people fail to realize is that these books bring a certain kind of joy that you do not find in the modern gadgets available today. There is nothing quite like snuggling on a couch by the window with a good suspense book and hot chocolate on a rainy day. It does not need any charging as it is not battery operated. You can get lost in its pages whenever you feel like it, wherever you feel like it.

As it is, there are so many benefits of reading, even fiction ones. People often scoff at the fiction genre because they say there is nothing to be gained from it. Sometimes, readers are often discouraged from reading fiction such as romance novels, sci fi, crime, mystery, thriller, and suspense.

Actually, a good book has its merits and reading one has its advantages, fictional or not. Even though works of fiction are imagined stories, this does not mean that they are not truthful. Sometimes, the made up stories are even the most honest you can read, and it is because the author is protecting the identity of nobody. Most fictional works are even a take on real time events, and they way they are told often rings a bell of authenticity to them.

It also serves as a form of mind exercise. Studies prove that regular mental stimulation can help fight off most brain and mental ailments. By reading one book per day, you are actually driving dementia and Alzheimer away.

It is also a very effective way to reduce stress. Reading can allow you to get lost in the plot, effectively blocking out all the worries that you may have left at work. Too much negative thinking can lead to weaker immunity, so counter all the bad vibes away with a good read.

Reading books allow you to expand your world. People think that the whole books take you to places thing is just a load of crap, but it is actually true. By just flicking through the pages, you get to be an Asian temple keeper, a European spy, an American traveler, and so much more. You get to know what it feels like to become a surgeon, a detective, a novelist, an artist and a lot more even if you do neither for a living.

It also makes you think. You get to know how good people turn into the worst criminals. It also makes you aware of the many problems in life that other people are experiencing.
