Why do I read?

There are a variety of reasons for why any number of people may read. Some read because they have to, others to get information, and others read for pleasure. The reason I read is a collaboration of all three.

When I read it's like I can escape to a whole new reality, sometimes similar to the one i'm already in, and other times completely different. But that's why I enjoy it. You never know what you're gonna get and I believe that each book you read impacts you in a different way. With every book you learn something new, whether it's how to cook something extravagant, how hormones effect your decisions, or different love stories that are really pretty much all the same, they all widen your knowledge of different things, and that's what I love about books. Well. That's one thing at least.

What I really love about books is the creativity between the lines, how beautiful the story can be, the word choice especially. There's almost nothing that'll give me more over to a book than a collection of good choices of words, I believe they really sell the book. I love a book's ability to keep me wanting more, to stop everything and do nothing but read each word between the covers. The best books in my opinion are the ones that make me sad when i'm done with them, because once I finish, that's the end of my escaped reality.
