Reply to Started reading again at 23 and it’s helped my mental health by Sleepy_Like_Me

Reading is the best mental exercise we can do, it doesn't matter what you read. I have to stop myself sometimes (11:30pm how'd it get that late). But it's such an easy way to get away from the day to day grind. Reading refocuses the brain and stirs the imagination.
