Post #1: Why I Read

I read because I feel like it takes me to a completely different world. Reading a book takes me away from reality and puts me in a whole different world. I read because it calms me down and helps me get perspective on a new way of life or on a different way of thinking. I read because growing up I was taught to love reading and to have patience when you're reading. I used to be alone alot growing up and the only way I would not be bored is by picking up a book and just reading it. Reading to me is a stress reliever and a place to get away. A lot of people read because they have to, but I enjoy reading and being put into a different world and into a whole new situation. Reading different books is like experiening a whole new life situation in your mind. When I read it's like having a small tv in my mind, it's almost like watching tv. Reading is a new experence and I love it.
