- Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare
* I live through the fictional characters in the novels I read. I love to feel the emotions of them all and read it almost like a movie script. I love to picture their faces, motions, and gestures.
* I love the escape of reading. It's almost like traveling. Many times after a difficult life event like a breakup or death, reading a similiar book is great therapy for me.
* Both of my parents are insane readers. My father can often read a whole novel in one day. They own enough for a whole library. No matter how long or hectic of a day, neither of them go to sleep without at least 20 minutes of reading beforehand. It instilled in me.

Second is to enhance my imagination. Creating the picture from words.
Third is to have fun. Like getting to new adventures even if you're just sitting.
Last is to see a different perspective from others. I learn a lot from them and they even inspired me.

Second, it helps me expand my experience of life. By reading i get an instant access to an author's thoughts, feelings and experiences, which could differ from my own. Therefore, keeping myself open to something new i become a better version of myself.
Third, the language experience. It always excites me to my find a new word or to embrace the gorgeousness of a well-written sentence

This is a really good topic. It’s very interesting to see why so many people like to read. I used to work at a used bookstore for 8 years and I loved talking about the different books the customers read. I love to read because it expands the mind. I love to learn, yet it’s a gift to see life from another’s perspective. I plan to start writing and publishing soon, after all of my year of reading. I’m very nervous to be a writer, yet I’m anxious to share my perspective about some of the things I’ve learned through the years.
Reading is the best thing anyone can do for themselves!

I can use reading as a way to gain knowledge, to further my understanding of topics that I'm passionate about, or simply to escape reality for a little while. I love picking up a book and knowing that on the pages was someone's dream, their sleepless nights, their passion, something that they felt needed to be heard.
I love not knowing what story is about to unfold.
There's hundreds of thousands of authors out there, all with a unique-to-them writing style and they all have a different story to tell.

I get to learn new stuff, travel in my imagination to places that do exist or don't in the actual world.
Also i love writing, so it's a way to sharpen my writing skills and widen my imagination.
