To begin with it's very relaxing. You can sit down at a quiet place and just forget about the world
around you for a while. After just a little while of reading I've got my strength up to take care of everything. It's also a great way to calm down before going to bed such a way you would have a peaceful mindset. But I'd say a huge no to Horror stories before bed. If you know, you know.

I like reading because:
It is a healthy way of having fun and passing time.
It makes me smarter and good at decision making
It improves my language and fluency
It makes me discover and learn new things

I like reading because when I'm reading, I'm away from the harsh reality of the world and in my own space.
Reading helps me understand people I have never met and places I have never visited. I get to see the world from different point if views.
Reading is one of my most favourite hobby.

It is true, there are so many reasons why reading is essential. It is also a great opportunity to visit worlds that only exist in the imagination of another.

The major reasons why I enjoins reading includes
(1)Learning:Reading helps me learns things I knows not
(2)Entertainment:Novels that consist of high level of drama or comedy can make me forget the sorrows of life.
And lots more.

Before answering this I want to state that I don't like reading, reading is what I love. If I would have given a choice to do only one thing in life, reading it would have been. There are so many reasons why I love reading. I will state few of them-
1. It helps me to live so many lives in one life itself.
2. It helps me to escape from the daily chaos, it gives me a sense of security and comfort.
3. Reading liberates you as an individual you start seeing the world from a different perspective.
4. It builds you as a person 💚.

I love reading because it makes me happy. It makes me content with my world. It takes my mind off problems too. I can't imagine my life without reading really. It's a beautiful gift from God

I have always thought reading is a beautiful yet knowledgeable way to escape reality. As you read, you slowly build a character in your mind that reflects the characteristics of people you love (imaginary or not). i have always felt reading helps in the way one thinks and views the world. It's not a hobby or a passion, but a way of life.

My dad loved reading, so he instilled this hobby in me when I was pretty young - I really think a part of it is genetic (my dad, brother and I are all avid readers), but I also love to read because I get to escape to a new world, or see the real world through a new perspective, or learn about things that I will never come across in my lifetime. I read for all these reasons, and I also read to get a sense of peace, of perspective, of inspiration, of warmth, and a thousand other feelings.
