Why do you like reading?

[bluegirl123876]

I myself like reading because it is like an adventure in your mind.


Why do you?

Its a very enjoyable hobby that relaxes me and also, i can learn a lot of information from various non fiction books, too.

Reading expands the horizons and augments the soul. Through the "Underground Notes" I'm exposed to a pessimistic view of society. Shakespeare's character Iago presents to me the nihilistic version of life as well as the harrowing depths of Man's soul. Through Moby Dick I'm exposed to human perseverance and through Dante's Inferno I see the everlasting potential for redemption in human life. Literature is used as a medium for entertainment. But the ability to augment's one mind, soul, and being while exploring the vast realms of knowledge throughout Man's history only solidifies literatures value.

Reading books is my hobby and I love reading love stories and mysterious novels.

I love the process when different pictures arouse in my head, and I love it when my imagination is involved

I like reading because unlike movies, you can create your own images. Your own actors, actresses...I could go on

Reading isn't just an "escape" for me, it's excitement and joy. I look forward to indulging myself in the text, the world of other people and looking at thingts throught their eyes.

What I especially love about reading is finding a book that I connect with on a personal level (not fantasy such as elves, just the character style and personality) that allows me to have an insight on how other people might view my decisions and how i affect them. I sincerely enjoy the aspect of reactions, they're probably my favorite.

And i've found a decent amount of books that I can really relate to and see people I know in life that are similar to other characters in a book, it's a sort of simulation that's very fun.

You know everyone's got a book out there for them, even those who claim to hate books or never read them.
They've just been given the wrong ones for them.

I love books. Have all my life. I like holding them in my hand and looking at them as much sometimes as reading them. Many times I'll read a book just because it looks beautiful. Reading fiction is better than a movie and I love movies too. It's like a movie in my head. But better, richer, fuller. I read for pleasure, for information, for inspiration and to participate in the life I can't be a part of in reality.

I like reading for so many reasons. I get to learn new things especially words and boosts my creative thinking.

[Amna Khalid]

It makes me happy. It fills my heart with joy. To escape reality it's a best option for me.

[J Edwards]

Basically I am a curious animal. Anything that offer a learning opportunity is always welcome. So I would say I read to learn.

[Rosemary Owolabi]

Reading exercises the brain and sharpens the mind. I like the way I feel after reading. That is why I read a book at least a week.
