Why do you like reading?

[Harmonia Silverberg]

A little late, but oh well

I guess you could say I'm impressed by what books can do. I still remember reading this particular scene in a book where the characters were being chased, and I literally felt my heart pounding like I was the one running. My breathing was ragged. My legs felt like jelly.
It was the most bizarre thing I had ever experienced, but I fell in love with books ever since. Next thing I knew, I read.
It's been 15 years since then, and although I admit I can't read as steadfastly as I used to, but I still find it easier to do than socializing.

I love reading because there is so much to learn and discover from every single book. I have loved reading ever since I was little, and I hope to foster a love of reading in my children.

I do like reading it's a way of understanding things and gaining more knowledge after all there's nothing in this world that knowledge

[Macel A]

I like reading because it connects me with all the renowned authors across the globe and the messages they are communicating through their writing and the information I obtain I use it in a suitable manner

Reading novels provides an immersive experience that transports me from the mundane realities of everyday life into captivating fictional worlds. By delving into the pages of a well-crafted story, I can temporarily escape the constraints of reality and explore new perspectives, emotions, and experiences.

[Maria Lepre]

I like reading because I can escape my life while my eyes are in the page of some book. I really need it, and reading is the only way I can get out

[Macel A]

I love reading since its a way of disconnecting from everything in a productive manner.

Reading is a way of entering a new world, that brings me peace at the same time grants me knowledge and most of all I have fun while I'm reading

[Alissa Nesson]

The best form of escapism is reading. While I’m engrossed in a book, I’m not thinking about anything else. It also allows me to live lives I could never live and go on adventures that I would 100% not survive through what happens in the first chapter, no matter what I sometimes choose to tell myself. I can read the thoughts and feelings of people who are fictional or people who are real but lived a long time ago. I can learn from people who are different from me or people who I can relate to. It’s hard to imagine not loving it and being grateful for my ability to appreciate it.

[Hella Layot]

Because it's fun. It's like I'm in a new world and everything is just different
It helps me get away from my boring life.

[Sakshi Bhageria]

I think like most of you here, I like reading because it allows me to broaden the scoped of my thinking. Whenever I compare how I am today to how I was even a few months ago, I can always see vast differences in thought, acion, and perspective. I will attribute most if not all of it to reading.
Cannot appreciate this habit enough.

What was the biggest change you noticed in yourself after you developed a reading habit?

[Adriana Ortencio 3]

I love reading for multiple reasons -
1) it is an easy way to escape into another world and completely delve into that world with a good story
2) it’s another way to learn from someone. I love how there are books with knowledge over hundreds of years old
3) it’s a way to experience life completely in someone else’s shoes

[Cristiano Bellucci]

I like reading to add imagination to the messages that the author says. The author gives some guidance and I can add the rest, from settings, to the characters.

[Nevada Shriver]

Escape. It allows me to travel the world through pages while I am financially stuck in the Midwest. Reading also has a lot of hidden surprises and things I never learned in school.

Personally reading is a passion, books always have been a way to understand society and how civilization affects our values. I also find myself more relaxed when reading.
