Reading is a means of relaxing and becoming one with the story. Always trying to figure out the why, who is guilty, who is telling the truth. A good book is a means of escaping to a different location.

I like reading because whenever am reading a novel or anything but mostly novels I feel at peace. It is like I have travelled to another galaxy and that's why I like reading.

I find television programming boring. The news they broadcast is often out of context. I'm from Mexico, maybe where they live their television broadcasts better things. Streaming services often put a lot of incomplete series. I like stories with endings, no matter how many books there are. Partly that's why I started reading, because I like concrete things and stimulate the imagination a little.

Dreams
It's all about dreams for me.
A good book takes me to another mental plane where I can dream and truly be free!
It's my own intoxicative addiction.
My escape from reality, even when reading none fiction books I try my best to become the author or main character. Live their lives and go on adventures I would never have.
A good book reminds me life is a fairytale.

I enjoy reading because it allows me to escape reality. I have a lot going on in my life and reading helps me forget for a little while. I also love learning new things and reading helps me with that.

I like reading because I enjoy what the author has to say. My thought is to imagine that you are in the book. It would help to read what the author is trying to say in the book. That's why I like to read books.

it is everything to do with that world of imagination, and not only for entertaining purposes but to also add a bit of insight knowledge. I always learn a thing or two when I read a book and that is mostly a reason why I love reading.

If there a specific reason why I like reading, it will be because I value knowledge. There's so much knowledge to be obtained by reading books. When I read I get to learn about many things, from different cultures to different religions, opinions, other people's experiences and so much more.

However, there are other reasons, like the smile a funny book puts on my face. And the feeling of excitement I get from a mystry and fantasy book.

Exploring different worlds and perspectives within the limited free time I have serve as a great means of recharging.

I like reading because it's hard to always have someone around who is as imaginatively dramatic as a skilled writer.

Books are valuable and ought to be protected. No matter how much I didn't like a book, I personally would never burn it because of how significant I think books are. Books are a good way to preserve information because they are less easily altered than the internet and are always available at your local library.

I like reading because it is the process of learning apart from the actual experience. It is not about fiction or nonfiction, but the important part of it is about building and having greater awareness of things around you. This is the beginning of understanding and knowledge.

I love reading for various reasons. It is an escape from reality,you just get lost in the book and forget all that is going on around you, this feeling is everything. Secondly, I gain knowledge while reading and also increase my vocabulary
