Is reading actually a guide to good english.

Reading brought me in touch with this site. I think it kept me informed and way ahead of my peers in discussions and makes me an enviable character when it comes to current affairs.It keeps my vocabulary really loaded and expansive. As a matter of fact i would like to extend this dicussion beyond this horizon and ask orther opinions on the subject.

Reading does really broaden your horizon without our knowing.Trust me the more one reads the more he/she become fluent,intelligent and confident.The question however should be whether,we are reading.In Ghana I hardly see or hear the youth discuss books they have read...It is said that if you want to hide something from a black man ..............hide it in a book..............!

Most definitely - reading can only serve to improve a person's grasp of any language - besides the added advantage of gaining information and being entertained...
