I can be timid, powerful, alien, normal, introvert, extrovert, rich and drowning in rain at the same time. I just feels so good. I like to know more about everything. That does not mean I like academic textbooks. Yeah, they are good and all but reading books is another kind of fun. It feels peaceful, silent and an escape from real world. I really dig into the story and feel like teleported to another world, world of romance or world of supernatural power, world of faith or world of wisdom, it depends. But it engulfs me and lure me to read more and more.

I love all of that! "I can live a hundred or even a thousand lives in just one go." So true.

Reading for me transports me into other worlds through the lens of each author. Reading is also a form of relaxation for me. I also love reading because it challenges my mind.

It is hard for me to put into words why I like reading as I have just always loved it, but I'll try! I enjoy learning about new things, stories, the bonds formed with characters and other worlds, getting to connect with others through stories, the shared human experience, and learning about lives other than my own. Reading can be a kind of escape and I love a good book that I can get lost in!

I think the main reason for me is that, books and the words in it just stimulates my mind and imagination. It's so fascinating how people could come up with good stories, and how readers can use their imagination to visualize things happening in a book. You also learn a lot from reading through experiences of the characters and see the world in different lights.

Like many others mentioned, I love to read because a book can take me to times and places I could never imagine. It allows me to see the world in new ways and go on adventures. At times, it can even be an escape from daily stresses and responsibilities.
This part is kind of a blessing and a curse, but it also fascinates me how time flies when I'm reading. When I'm immersed in a good book, everything else stops.
Finally, books bring people together in unexpected ways. Who among us can't sit and talk for hours about a book?

Mostly to escape reality (well, because I love fantasy books; who doesn't anyway?) And it's a worthwhile hobby.

I like learning and thinking about new things, new kinds of people. I feel like reading about lots of different types of people helps me have a wider understanding of personalities in general, beyond just the people I have met in real life. I also get to think about experiences I have never had, will never have and gain a little bit of background that could help me relate to someone I might meet in the future who has had a very different life than I have had.

I love reading because I can escape reality for a second helps my mind stay sharper plus I love to learn about different things, places, you name it! Also love to read to set an example for my house hold to encourage reading a actual book.

I like reading because some how it feeds my curiosity to know a lot of things, again because I believe everything there is to know about life has been written somewhere. reading gives me a chance to know more about things around me.
