Why do you like reading?

[Susann Heidy Castro Garnica]

Because:
- Reading takes me places that might or might not exist on this earth,
- I can be a pirate, or a soldier, or a man, or a teenager who saves the world, or a fantastic creature,
- Books are my friends, they teach me things, open my mind to new ideas,
- Books were there when people at my school refused to be my friend,
Do I need to say more?

To De-stress and escape into another world and of course for knowledge and wisdom

[Jacob Mamman]

Distracts me from the stress of day to day activities.

I think it began as escapism, but now I love the literary element of it. The awe I feel when reading a book and marvelling at how someone's human brain came up with something so beautiful.

[Shneka Karthick]

To feel something different! To give my body what it needs i.e., a good cry-sad books, thrill- a thriller book, a good laugh- RomCom book, escape- a good fantasy book, butterflies in my stomach- ya romance book and the list goes on and on!

I love reading because I get to visit other worlds and meet people I'd never meet otherwise. I love reading because it sparks my imagination and teaches me things I might never have known otherwise. Plus, people always assume you're smart just for reading a lot LOL

[Deepika Ganesh]

Like is not the word I would use.
I love reading. As for the reason, it takes me away from my own reality. I live a different life every time I start a new book, and when I finish that last page I end up feeling like I lived through it.
Reading a book is like having a cinematic experience inside my head and often the protogonists are faceless.
Each book is a different life, different experience, different reality. Maybe that is why it is so addicting.

Reading is just so peaceful and relaxing even when life gets busy and hectic.

[Sabrina Bethel]

I love reading because it gives me an escape and takes me places I’ll never go in life. I especially love the fantasy romance sub genre with epics adventure and magic with character relationships.

[Jacob Mamman]

Books, especially classic novels teach us more about the way of life than anything else ever does. They help build our intellect, sharpen our skills and induce good habits.

Originally, I didn't love reading. It took a long time to read a novel. I was impatient and only read what was required in school. I have J.K. Rowling to thank for my love of reading. I read the first Harry Potter in high school and, for the first time, was taken to another world. I enjoyed it so much that I began to look for other books that could transport me away from my teenage drama.
Over time, my tastes have evolved to encompass a wider variety of books. I enjoy learning what it's like to live differently than I have. I enjoy seeing things from other people's perspective. I enjoy discovering things that I never would have come across any other way. Bonuses: I now have a stronger vocabulary. I can read a novel in a day!

I love reading because I get to explore different topics and gain vast knowledge on the same. Also, reading for me is therapeutic so it really is important for me to read.

[Cara Wilding]

I remember as a child, I would go to the library with my Mom and get the weekly limit of 15 books every single week. Then, it was pure escapism...I could get lost in a book. As I got older, reading became more a part of my education and I longed to just read for pleasure! I'm a naturally curious person and books definitely scratch that itch. I love learning and being able to have conversations with people that aren't about the weather or mundane things. My mind needs mental stimulation or I get bored. I'm back to a place where I can read mostly for pleasure...I just fear that there isn't enough time on this earth to read all the books I want to read!

[Carolina Katerina]

I love reading because it gives us a lot of knowledge in so many areas of life. I may visit new places and in different ages, I may meet new people there and see a the world through their yes.

[Saif Qureshi]

I love reading as it takes me to different worlds, to explore different characters and different lives just by sitting at one place...
