What do you think about the reading habit? Is it a waste of time?

Absolutely not. Reading is one of the most valuable habits a person can develop. A reading module helps you learn strategies to understand a writer’s intent — why they wrote a specific text and what message they want to share. Every writer belongs to a particular genre and expresses meaning that can be either explicit or implicit.

Building a reading habit offers countless benefits, though it takes time and patience. You won’t see instant results, but with consistency, your comprehension and critical thinking skills will grow. To make reading a part of your daily routine, start small: choose a book that matches your interests and commit to reading at least 5–10 pages a day.

For instance, you might explore a research-based book such as A Reflection of Pride & Prejudice (1813): A Jungian Psychoanalytical Approach to the Characters in Unmarriageable (2019) by Soniah Kamal. Reading works like this helps you understand not only literature but also the psychology behind human behavior and social values.

By the end of each day, you’ll gain new vocabulary, deeper insights, and knowledge about different worlds — whether fictional or real. Over time, this habit will have a lasting impact on both your academic performance and professional growth.
