Advantages You Get To Enjoy From New Suspense Novels

By Marylou Forbes


In the world that is dominated by new age technology, people are slowly shying away from all the things that they classify as being old school and uncool. People stop listening to the radio and listen instead on their iPod. People ditch conventional wristwatches for high technology ones that are able to function as a sort of extension for your phone. People hardly read hardcover and paperback books anymore, much less new suspense novels.

Reading good old books today seem to be some kind of a lost art. Modern generations hardly ever pick up these stuff and read. For them, there are so many things better than perusing through old pages. They would just rather watch TV all day, surf the net during their free time, and do other stuff. If there is a novel that has become really famous, they will just wait for the movie version of the said story in cinemas.

This way of thinking of most modern people has actually gotten them on a disadvantage. They, unless they get into the habit, will never feel the unexplainable delight brought about by a new book. They will never get to experience the tactile pleasure of opening a just purchased book for the first time. Most online reads do not come along with that familiar scent of old pages. A book is actually way better than gadgets, as it does not run out of battery, is relatively cheap, and can be carried safely anywhere.

Sometimes, people count reading to be a worthwhile pastime only when you read factual articles and scholarly periodicals. They often scoff at fictional literature as a complete waste of valuable time. Genres such as thrillers, romance, comedy, mystery, science fiction, and suspense are often regarded as thrash because they are just products of highly imaginative authors.

On the contrary, immersing oneself in the fictional genre has its benefits. Even though is it branded as a work of fiction, it can actually contain a substantial amount of truth. All those factual ones can bend or alter some events in order to protect a live person, but fiction does not do that. It only states things as they happen, which is why the most gripping truths are in the pages of a fictional story.

It also serves as a form of mind exercise. Studies prove that regular mental stimulation can help fight off most brain and mental ailments. By reading one book per day, you are actually driving dementia and Alzheimer away.

Reading can be quite engaging, too, and it keeps your mind off things. Suspense and mystery types compel one to read from beginning to end, and develop their own judgments and ideas. Before you know it, you have already forgotten about the nagging problem at the office that has been bothering you all day before you decided to read.

It can also widen your view on things. You get to know so much by reading a lot. You will experience the feeling of being a good doctor, a spy, a secret agent, even a psychopath.

It also stimulates critical thinking. A well written suspense thriller will get you to formulate your own thoughts on what you think will happen next. It will also give you a good lesson on formulating judgments and opinions.
