I think I like to read because...
I do not believe you have to experience something in order to learn something.
I believe you can learn from other people's experiences.
So if someone is willing to tell you their experience, then one should be open to understanding that experience. To me, that's what books reveal....someone else's experience, so I don't have to experience that but I can learn from it.

Same here, dumpling. Reading is a great escapadesleepydumpling wrote: ↑19 Aug 2007, 21:58 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.

And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

2. If it’s a mystery, I like to see how the character solves it and see if I can solve it before they do.
3. I love the descriptions in sci-fi and fantasy books
4. I like immersing myself in the lives of fictional characters.
