> Why do you think that reading in general is good?
Attention span. For me, anyway.
I read LOTR as a kid in about 10 days. I tried re-reading it a few years ago and found I just couldn't keep my attention on the words for that long. Like social media and the mobile phone had rotted my ability to keep my attention on a single thing for hours.
I uninstalled social media (for other reasons, primarily mental health) and stopped using the phone so much, and managed to finish Wheel of Time (finally!).

Reading is good for the attention span, I think.
