Because books especially literature provoke my imaginations. I love pituring things and immersing myself into the world of the book.

I love reading because it is my escape from reality and because it allows me to learn life lessons in an unburdensome way. Sometimes things just get too loud inside my head and reading a good book is pretty much the quickest way for me to quickly escaped from my messed mind. It brings me tranquility and it kind of feels like going into meditation. It helps me to calm down and process my thoughts better after a good read.

I really love to get lost in a book. I read for many different reasons. I read to go on adventures in my mind. I read to solve intriguing mysteries. I enjoy reading about relationships and romance. Reading teaches me about different cultures and different time periods in history. My mom and I love to read the same books and then talk about them. Reading is my favorite hobby.

Reading gives us knowledge. Even the bible advocates knowledge. Hosea 4:6 King James Version says
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee..."

We do most things because it makes us feel good. Reading gives me a good feeling, generally. It incites me to adore the pure brilliance, creativity, and knowledge of human beings.

I just finished reading a chapter of a good read. I was left with an excitement you can only get from a good read. This makes me proud of saying I like reading because of different emotions we get from different stories.

Reading is interesting. Sometimes when I read I feel like am in a different world because immediately I stop reading i feel like something vital is missing. It's essentially life support for me.

Every time I read I always get the urge to come here just to inspire others to read as well. These books give us some exciting feelings. If you're always reluctant to read a book, don't be, you don't know what you're missing out.

Reading is the unique way to read someone's mind. I like because I want to know how other people think; not that I couldn't ask them, but we normally organize our speech and hide the things we needn't to share others. Otherwise, written thoughts are always unraveling.
