Does reading books make you smarter, and is reading my ticket

no, reading does not make you smarter, there is no known way to increase iq, only lessen it

No it won't make you smarter

It also won't get you out of being a dumbass

What reading can do for you is increase your attention span and, depending on what you read, either increase your ability to visualize (imagination) or increase your knowledge

If you want to be smarter the first thing you do it get off this site

If you know how to find them and also if you abstain from all forms of shitposting

Depends on what you read. A girl in my class constantly reads nothing but Harry Potter and garbage like that and she's borderline spud. Quality not quantity

I'm sorry but I'm afraid that you can't get SMARTER, you're stuck with what your parents gave you.
