I guess I like to read because it's like when you open a book and start to read you go somewhere else.Books are like adventures.There are so many books every book is a new world .

I like to read because it makes me feel experienced. I'm only 19 but when someone is talking I can say I can relate. It may not have happend to me but the feelings and knowledge I get from books can linger for a lifetime :)

I love reading for the following reasons;

When I read I am transported to other places, I meet people I may never come across in real life, I get to experience life walking in someone else's shoes, sometimes a good experience and sometimes not but either way it proves enlightening.
I can walk though the land of Neanderthals, I can climb the towering spires of yet to be completed Cathedrals in Medieval Britain or be an observer as the Rats of Tobruk hold back the might of Rommels Panzer Corp.
Yes I love reading.

Be it fiction or real life, reading brings to the perseptive reader, all the experiences and knowledge life has to offer. My own 5 Star Award-winning eBook has gained the following Review from 'Smart Read, State of Oregon.'
"--- --------- ------, is a thrilling, romantic novel which brings upon curiosity and excitement. A great read for anyone."
Thrilling, Romantic, Curiosity, Excitement!
Are not these four words, what reading is all about, come the end of the day?

I have a very vivid imagination and books just help me explore it. I can imagine what I would like the characters to look like (sort of), where as with a movie I can't.

Reading books is a great feeling. Specially for a person like me who is always on the go, i spend most of my time travelling, and reading E Books is one of my favorite hobbies during that time. I always keep my E Book Reader with me.

Escaping reality is nice. For me, it's a euphoric feeling to be absorbed in to a book you're reading.

I read for many reasons. Sometimes a book with transport you to another place, sometimes they teach new skills or sometimes they just help to kill time. I read many kinds of books and love them all.

I'm imaginative (and creative) so a good read takes me into other realities, where I can see the characters, feel the streets they walk, bee happy when they are happy, and grieve when they grieve.
Sure, I can pick up a non-fiction and learn new things, but I primarily like to dissolve my day in a good story.
