Why do you like reading?

[Misty20058]

I love reading as I get transported to other places and it is a nice break from daily life. It is an easy way to improve many skills and learn new things - all while having fun!

I like reading because it gives me fodder for the imagination. It is a different world in between the pages of each book. Reading makes me think and wonder.

I like to read because it helps me escape the craziness of real life, especially during these current times. Reading other works also gives me inspiration to write my own stories, too!

Reading is therapeutic for me. I love how reading makes me feel. Be it any genre, it always teaches me something. Books and reading take me to some other world which is amazing !!

I like reading because it's an opportunity to travel to different landscapes and, sometimes, through different periods in time. It's an escape certainly, but more than that, it's a voyage as seen through another's eyes.

And it is also give us knowledge about other things, culture, adventure, feeling, and other more. Reading also help as to understand the feeling of others, and it help us to read more because when we grow old we forgot how to read a book. So we must enjoy reading every time.

It's such a deeply spiritual and life-fulfilling endeavor. A single reality is never enough for me. I long to go beyond.

I love to explore new things whether it be exploration of unrevealed facts about this universe, exotic locations, fictional characters or simply engaging stories.

Books about cosmology, spirituality and several autobiographies have taught me a lot of things and left me craving for more knowledge and wisdom. So, the quest goes on.

Fictional books give me an incomparable solace by engrossing into a different world of our own. Various authors' unique styles of expressions amaze me and the bond that we can create with those characters as if they are real people is invaluable.

God only knows what this world would have been without books!

My reasons for reading are basically 3.
1. To pass time...lol.
2. To get informed.
3. It makes me comfortable with how my day's spent, I feel fulfilled reading.

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.

I agree with Kath. I like reading because it allows me to escape the world that i am in now.

So true. I especially read fantasy fiction so I could escape my life for awhile.

All great reasons, there is nothing like a book to enrich life!

I totally agree.

For me, I see reading as a means to learn new things and to escape, as so many others have referred to in these posts. And sometimes, reading helps me to put myself in the shoes of others and have more compassion for those around me in similar situations. It can also help me to process things that I may be struggling with at the time.

Why I read? It is a question for which I have been looking for an answer. Whenever I sit to read, I don’t know why I kinda get into the story and think of myself as a third party in the story, watching all the events sitting a bit away. Its like a part of me.

When i was little, my dad told me that every time you read a book, you get a little smarter. You're writing skill level may improve, your understanding of the world may increase. And if it's a bad book, then you learn what bad writing is.

because it's a great way to get transported to a new world. Reading every book is a unique experience. It also makes one more empathetic
