Reading literature makes us smarter and nicer

An article from Time Magazine last year highlights a couple of studies proving that people who often read fiction "appear to be better able to understand other people, empathize with them, and view the world from their perspective."

The Friends feel it goes without saying that it also makes them better looking.


Go forth and read, Friends! 
You're making the world a better place!
