Abstract
What are you reading for pleasure at the moment? Many of us may confess to not having the time or inclination to read for pleasure. Indeed, we have enough to read in the form of journals, textbooks and clinical documents in our day-to-day work, as well as in our continuing professional development. So you are not alone if you struggle to answer this question. This article aims to demonstrate that the benefits of reading for pleasure may be more far reaching, more applicable to general practice, and more applicable to our patients, than you might expect.
