"Because reading..." - How would you finish this sentence?

Asked by harple (10448points) February 28th, 2012

I’m creating a poster and corresponding invites for a World Book Night event (yay, I’m a giver!) and I wanted to have a heading along the lines of:

Because reading…. (matters/can take you to places others dream of/is the new black…????????)

Any ideas? :-)

…is cool. Then show a picture of a nerdy guy surrounded by hot women. No one cares about knowledge, they just want to do whatever gets them girls or popularity.

I’d rather reading exacerbated my lexicon than ameliorate it. I don’t see my lexicon as something to be calmed down. In fact, mostly, I’d just like to see it grow.

I like this…” I think therefore I am, I read therefore I become.”
