I really enjoyed this article because it was well written yet casual. I also enjoyed noting that I follow each of these rules when I read (when I am not too lazy). Although, what I found most intriguing was towards the end.
Dodgson wrote that games do not give you a future benifit, where as exercising your knowledge and mental health does. I disagree, because playing games are a form of exercising mental health. One can learn a lot from a game if it requires skill. If that skill is helpful in your future field, even better. Not that reading does not help you hone your skill, because it surley does, but it is just different than playing games. Games test your abilities, which give you a chance to learn from your mistakes. Reading expands your abilities, giving you knowledge but not practice. Both are different, and one is not better than the other. Where the most benifit lies is where you spend your recreation. For example: If one wants to be a lawyer, he can read law novels and play trial simulators. Here, both forms of recreation are benificial. If he reads comedy, and plays video games then both forms are not very benificial. The wisest benefit from recreation the most, so as long as they are having fun.
