I do not know if I am in the right place to ask this question but I would like to know if you read books and what it helps you to develop your intelligence then if you read what are your favorite books?

I love reading but i recently got onto the audible train. They got some great books like Zero Day, the narration of it is great

[blobtown]

I really enjoyed reading:
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
Milk and Honey - Rupi Kaur
Children of Blood and Bone - Tomi Adeyemi

I felt so deeply connected to these books!! Honestly, it changed the way I view society and made me more empathetic

I think if there is something I can not do I can say which books are my favorite ?

Well depends if the book caught my interest or not. But normally I am not the reader type.
I like to solve things and build stuff. Something that stimulates the brain.

I do read books time to time. From fantasy to self-help. I enjoy all of them. A friend of mine insisted on reading Steve Jobs since it's so inspiring.

Anyways, yes, reading books can help improve ourselves in many different ways: improving vocabulary, focusing, memory function, to other stuff.
Reading is mental stimulation for the brain. It's NECESSARY

I do .. but sadly never get to finishing any
I simply jump from one book to another

I don't read any books right now. But used to read a lot in the past. And I can say for sure it helps your cognitive abilities in the brain. It helps in building your focus and attention span which you can in turn leverage to learn new information all the time. Focus and attention span is crucial for your brain to take out the full potential of your cognitive intelligence IMO. But the thing is focus & attention span isn't something you can leave, it's a bit like a muscle that you have to maintain. And reading helps polish and keep you on the edge for that.

Right now I've had a period where I haven't read anything for over two years. And I can say that I really cannot function without coffee, constant brainfog and being just slow in general. But it didn't used to be like that. Differs from person to person, and I've had other things play part in my life, like lifestyle. But I can say for sure, reading is good!

I used to read a lot of dystopian type novels, especially russian ones like solzhenitsyn and dostojevskij. One of my favorite books would be (CANT QUOTE THE LINK)

I agree with this for sure. I went through a lull in reading and my mental “agility” seemed to disappear. I recently got on the Amazon audible train though and it seems to help - better than listening to music on the morning commute for the working stiff types like myself.
