Why is reading the most important thing to do?

I think we always have to be growing up, never stop your learning. Why should you be reading right now?, why do we have to read at least 2 hours per day?, should I read eventhought i don't understand anything?, who is gonna give me an award if i read?

If you were a good reader your live wouldn't be the same, everything'll change, the way you perceive life would be more interesting. Your thoughts would be more deeply and you would be able to express your ideas.

I mean, reading is the best way to feed your self ...
please, whatever you do, never forget to READ!
