i’ve been reading since i was a child and i love it because it’s an escape from reality. it helps my intelligence, my imagination, and overall makes me happier. if i read a really great book, i can’t stop thinking about it for days and while it’s distracting, it’s a lovely getaway.
all’s fair in love and poetry

Reading is an escape from reality. It allows you to live lives that you wouldn’t be able to live, otherwise. It also gives you a glimpse into others’ minds. I love reading!

I like reading because I’m able to fully immerse myself in a new world and story. I find that with TV and movies it’s so easy to pick up and check my phone or get distracted by something outside of the story, but with books, it requires my whole focus and attention to understand what’s going on and to truly immerse myself in a way that nothing else really allows me to.

There are some reasons for that
1) Reading books increases my knowledge.
2) It improves my vocabulary.
3) I can use my own imagination to picturize the scenarios.
4) It's fun to read

Reading allows me to see the world from a different angle and introduces me to new ideas and ways of thinking. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I find refuge in the pages of a good book. Reading is like a mini-vacation where I can forget about my worries and immerse myself in a world of imagination and creativity. Furthermore, reading is an excellent way to connect with others who share my interests and enthusiasm for learning, which is an incredibly rewarding experience.

Hi! Answering the question: I like reading for various reasons; reading helps me escape from reality to an alternative world in which my personal problems don't exist. Reading helps me improve my concentration, my focus, and my desire for wanting to know more. It improves my vocabulary, and the way I choose to express myself, while also allowing me to comprehend complex topics I might not have been aware of previously.

I travel through whole universes when I read. I can travel far and wide with books, learn new things from them, and read for pleasure and relaxation as well as to laugh and cry. Books have the ability to satisfy every part of my imagination because they come in a variety of genres, each of which meets a different desire of mine.

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 agree with her. But for the most part, I just enjoy seeing the characters grow and have their happy ending, or perhaps learn from tragic ones. Also, it takes my mind of things too.
