It is almost tautological to observe that being a reader sets a child up for academic success, since so much of school is reading. And that means-to-an-end argument in support of reading says nothing of the many joys it can bring. But even though plenty of people simply don’t enjoy reading (or have trouble enjoying it, possibly because of a learning or attention disorder), it’s a vital skill. It may be dispiriting that people have little, if any, say over many of the predictors of whether they or their children will be readers, but thankfully, there are also a number of other factors that are within people’s control.
As Willingham explains in his book Raising Kids Who Read, three variables have a lot of influence over whether someone becomes a lifelong reader. First, a child needs to be a “fluent decoder,” he told me—that is, able to smoothly “go from print on the page to words in the mind.” This is something that schools teach, but parents can help with it by reading to and with their kids—especially when that reading involves wordplay, which particularly helps kids with the challenge of identifying the “individual speech sounds” that make up a word

I guess I just like stories? When I play video games I also prefer the ones with in-depth story and lore. I guess I just love exploring different worlds. It's also something you can do wherever and you don't bother anyone. It is a nice quiet hobby you can take literally anywhere you go.
I know why I love reading classic literature though - it is because I love to know all the jokes and topics. I love seeing a reference and knowing what is means and where it is from, I love watching movies and pointing out (to myself because it would probably annoy everyone else to no end) old cliches that Shakespeare wrote about and so It's fun! The classic literature community is actually very funny bunch of people
