So many reasons I enjoy reading..to name a few, it's an escape from reality, I can immerse myself into a different time, place, or whole other realm, and also because I can picture what is going on with the author's details.

I like reading books because in this way I don't need anybody's company.
Also it helps me to understand the world in a different and holistic way.

Reading is my hobby, that's why I love reading. Besides, I get to learn so much from the books I read, and so I find it something worthwhile to do.

A book/story that opens the theatre of our imagination is great for our minds. Better than seeing a good story in a TV movie or series. Also you can pick it up when you want. Though a truly good story is hard to put down. At this stage, I prefer books that have been well written.

I like to read because it gets me away from the business of life. whenever I get some free time, I try to find a book to read. At least I get to learn something new every time. Most of the time I just read because it helps me realize how it feels to be in a different situation, and how it feels like when you enter a new world with different people. So I guess I just like to read and learn.

In my opinion books 📚are like friends .

Information and Picking up: Perusing permits me to acquire information on a great many themes. Whether it's verifiable books, articles, or even fiction that integrates certifiable data, perusing extends how I might interpret the world and assists with learning new things.

Creative mind and Idealism: Perusing can ship me to various universes and submerge with spellbinding stories. It animates my creative mind, permitting with envision characters, spots, and occasions to me. It gives a getaway from the real world, offering me to reprieve from day to day schedules and permitting me to encounter new viewpoints.

Profound Association: Books have the ability to inspire feelings. They can make me chuckle, cry, feel motivated, or sympathize with characters. Learning about characters' encounters and feelings can assist with better grasping with my own sentiments and foster sympathy.

It enriches me. It is food for my soul. It is my escape from harsh reality. Not reading would be spiritual death for me.

It sweeps me away into another world, far away from reality. It's like being immersed in an adventure, in a story that will provoke all of our emotions. I like the books that are more character-driven than plot-driven, to be honest. It makes me connect with the characters and is a lot more immersive.

My love for the written word is one that is very new. A love that grew out of necessity and embarrassments. It all began about 14 years ago when i met a lady friend. See, reading had always been a chore, something you did for school and nothing more.
One day that lady friend invited me to her flat in the city. When I walked into her living room my eyes were in shock upon seeing the wall of books that she had read. Then paying attention to the way she articulated herself, It ignited a want to learn and understand the meaning of words and how to properly use them in conversation and on paper. Books have and continue to make me a better communicator in my everday life.

Why do I like to read? Hmm, the essence of reading non-fiction is probably for the sake of knowledge acquisition. When I read non-fiction then that's what I'm after. When I read fiction, it's probably for the sake of entertainment. Reading books and watching Tv, in my opinion, are alike. The only difference is when you read, in your mind's cinema, you can be the protagonist, feeling what they're feeling.

I like reading because it gives access to ancient wisdom that can't be obtained on the street.

Reading has become my favorite hobby ever since I learned how to read. Among all of my many interests, reading is at the top of the list. I greatly enjoyed it as it helps me cope with the real world. The genre I mostly read are fiction and non-fiction books. Whatever purpose I might have to keep reading is something I'm looking forward to doing for a long time. Whether it is for entertainment or education, I see myself doing this simple activity for as long as it takes.
