reading encompasses the whole brain ... and this is just my opinion

but if you are for example watching a movie, a story being projected upon your vision and you are listening to the dialogue etc... you can follow and enjoy...

but if you are reading the original story as written, with the usual visual clues described ( along with what you hear, smell, taste, feel, etc) and every detail an accomplished author has to offer, you are engaging a more creative aspect of your brain... I believe you are engaged in active creation of the story, and are stimulating your brain cells in ways that are more beneficial to your well being


says the guy that has too many books, and can't get enough time to read 'em
😁
