Why do you like reading?

[Mashell Chapeyama]

Reading is great. When I read time flies, as I do not worry about a lot of life's challenges I face. It is enjoyable. I started extensive reading at a very young age and reading is now part of me. My mind is kept active and can easily analyze issues I face in life, in general.

I love reading because let's me be in someone else's shoes. If the main character, for example feels fear, I would probably feel fearful as well. It also let's my imagination flourish, by creating scenes from the book in my head. Reading books is amazing. I don't understand how people could hate it.

We all like reading. In fact, most of us would probably say that we love reading.

Why do you like it so much? What is it about reading that attracts you to it?

I think I like reading because it allows me to hear from people who have something important to say. You can read from the best thinkers no matter where they are or even when. I'm amazed by the fact that I can go to the book store and buy hours of reading material written by someone who lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

What about you?

I have pretty much the same reason as you, Scott. In addition, I feel like by reading I can better understand myself and/or the people around me. The perspectives and behavior of each character could reflect those of someone in your circle or someone that you are about to meet. It is easier to relate to them if you somehow understand why they are the way they are.

I love reading because it teaches you many stuff from people across the globe no matter if they are dead or not. Another thing is that it teaches you new concepts with patience and introduces you to new ways of thought. A good book feels like a friend who tells you "hey, you are not alone there, there are other people who think alike" and that is really comforting^^

As a kid I always like to image something in mind . As i grew up my imagination capacity is limited reading books make me to imagine again .It make me to create a new world in my mind . where i am the viewer and story is unfolding in front of me as i read.Its a beautiful feeling which I experience while reading........... dreaming........... feeling........... imagining............

Reading is a simple word but could give amazing outcomes. It is a very powerful act. It brings us closer to either success or failure. It brings us closer to either being good or bad. It brings us closer to either happy or sad. I do like and LOVE reading because it enhances me holistically as a person.

It saved my life and gave me purpose. It's too bad in Africa that purpose that purpose isn't worth much but we'll should. I think reading, and writing for some, keeps that fire/passion in us bright and high.

[Lyra]

I like reading because it transports me to unique and exotic locations in different complex situations. I'd be in imagined adventure to my heart's content with the added bonus that I can go back and join the adventure all over again. The relational material in books also attract me to it. The fact that I can relate to such characters excites and humbles me.

Because reading forces your brain to use your imagination to conjure up your own images of what you're reading. It's an escape into another time and place. Movies rob us of the use of our imagination.

[Bookaholic15]

I like reading because I can forget all about what is happening in the real word and have it dissolve around me as I discover the world the character is living in. Reading is an escape from the pain and hardships.

[Rawen]

My main reason is to escape reality. Second, i've got to learn new things. Lastly, Like to study how other people think by reading their stories.

[Jackie Donnelly]

I like to escape and explore different worlds. Reading takes me to places I would never get to go otherwise.

Reading is my absolute favorite activity, and it has been for most of my life.

I grew up an only child in a very small town, so I had to find something to occupy my time and reading became that "something"!

I love the fact that by reading I can go anywhere at any time in history....I am transported into another time and place and everything else fades away!

I have learned so much over the years by reading. What could be better???
