We all like reading. In fact, most of us would probably say that we love reading.

Why do you like it so much? What is it about reading that attracts you to it?

I think I like reading because it allows me to hear from people who have something important to say. You can read from the best thinkers no matter where they are or even when. I'm amazed by the fact that I can go to the book store and buy hours of reading material written by someone who lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

What about you?

What a interesting question. I think reading, for me, takes me somewhere else. A place I don't have to pay bills, feed the kiddos, pay attention to the man, and really just explore a world that is in my mind, but shares the mind of the author. It's like peeking into someone else's mind. To me, the escape and the magic of reading is something I need. Like air.

Peaceful but thoughtful. I like that everyone can get something personal from the same book.

I like reading because books give me a place to go when I have to stay where I am.

I love reading because of the world I can build in my mind. A good author can form such an amazing picture that I just don't think you can get from television or movies. The possibilities are endless and it grips you, pulls you into a new world.

Reading is my best hobby and also writing. I read daily books and newspaper.

I'm really enjoying Middle Earth in J.R.R Tolkien's books

I read because it is a simple escape from the world we live in and the situations we might be facing for the moment. We are allowed to wonder into the lives of characters that develop over time in series and we even begin to cheer for their successes and cry in their failures.

I think there are probably several reasons why I love to read. One of the main reasons being that reading provides me with the opportunity to travel through time and into different worlds. I once heard a quote that stated that people who read have to opportunity to live 1000 lifetimes while a person that doesn't read can only live their own. (I can't remember the quote completely but that's the gist) Also, I love learning, so I read to learn about anything and everything that I can get my hands on.

I like to read because it takes me out of every day life an brings me to a different world..so to speak. Weather it's a steamy romance or a a mystery romance or military or supernatural romance, I just love them all

[Swamy4mind]

As people say - A book is a different kind of world where we can experience lot of things we cannot experience in real life. A book is a friend, a parent , a teacher, a lover , a stranger, a magician, a motivation, . . . . how can i live without all these comforts? that's why i like books

[casper]

I love reading because it takes me out of myself. It tells me things about the past, present and future.
It gives me the chance to live so many different lives, in different times and in places I could never visit.

Reading is a really enjoyable hobby of mine. It takes me to another place and I'm always trying to hone my imagination. I can't think of anything better to do with my time frankly!
