People who love reading love reading. And people who love reading also love reading about how great reading is. Luckily, as you may have noticed, the opportunities for this kind of reading about reading are apparently endless.

After all, if you spend a lot of time on the internet, you know that reading is kind of a wonder drug—according to science! (And also, sometimes, polls.) Reading, the headlines declare, can make you happier, smarter, less-stressed, more successful, better-rested, more creative, healthier, hotter, nicer, more mindful, and you know, really just all around a better person. It’ll also make you live longer, and be more human. See for yourself, below.

(Look, I am not a reading scientist. I have no information about the quality of the claims presented in these headlines. But purely anecdotally, some of the best readers I’ve known . . . have been jerks. So jury’s out, as far as I’m concerned.)
