Why do you like reading?

[Mr Zafar]

I have very few friends, so I can relax by reading books

[esthernn]

Reading books uplifts my spirit,
Reading makes me virtually interact with like minded people,
I'd like to be a writer some day and reading gives me a lot of product knowledge on this,
I love it as a hobby.

[Oliver Chimezie]

Well, reading ease stress

[vaz222]

I love reading mostly because it's relaxing. It's nice for me to go somewhere else in my mind without actually leaving the house.

[Hotaru143]

I love reading, for the same reasons as everybody else.
Reading has the ability to transform and replenish souls.

[justmarielyn]

I read for two reasons...

1) To escape. I love being transported to another time or place. I love that feeling of seeing or doing or experiencing something different.

2) To see things from a different perspective. I love a book that makes me think and shows me things from other people's perspectives.

I, so agree with her.
And mostly for number 2. I feel like i am the character i am reading. I can relate but at the same time, i just have to know how this character will cope up with their situations. Because sometimes, when we thought we had it all figured out, it just didn't.

[andromachi]

I love reading because I feel it can take me in other worlds using only my imagination.
It's the best way to relax after a stressful day. Not only that they educate me as well. I have learned a lot of things I wouldn't if i haven't been reading.

Here's what I find amazing about reading and why I love it so much.....

So there can be thousands of people that have literally read the same exact book but to each person it is unique. The way I image the characters look and act wont be the same as yours. Same with the setting, clothes, animals, and so on. What makes reading especially unique to each reader is the fact that books are adapted for us individually. If you are watching a movie or t.v. show we all see the same thing and quite frankly, it's pretty boring. While reading, a persons imagination has no limitations. My friends and family don't get why I always have my nose in a book. It's quite simple really. I have an imagination. When I recommend a book I love to someone, I know that they will see it in a completely different perspective as me whether they love the book or not. That's why I LOVE books. To each is their own. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on this my fellow book lovers.

[Ras Jose]

Reading helps me explore the world and also learn some important ideas.

[Gods Monkey]

It gives me an escape from the real world and my boring life.

[Abodunrin]

well as a child growing up i had an inferiority complex and it hunted me. Then everything changed when i began to read, my mindset about life changed, it improved my outlook, helped me build a confidence that was intimidating, i found the boldness to speak and above all it improved the quality of my thinking. In short i can say that reading did set me free and that is why i love reading

[Goaldiggergirl]

I love reading because i learn from every book or story that i've read. And sometimes i got an idea of what it looks like and they can also bring me in different places.

[Fandom_1117]

1. to distracted me. it let me forget what happening in reality.
2. to go on an adventure. i become part of the book

[SherriLenae]

Stephen King, Dean Koontz, the weirder, stranger, and freakier, the better!! I have a very open mind and love to have it stretched!!!

In fact reading is the main medium of sharing knowledge.People are used to reading for various purpose.
[*]Some people read as an habit
[*]Some people read to increase their knowledge.
[*]Some people read for leisure.

Really benefit of reading can't be expressed by words.
