Why I read

I read to provide a break from reality.  Sometimes you have a lot going on and a book can help you get over it.  So I read to have fun and not take life serious all the time.  I think its fun to sit back and get involved in something that won’t stick.  In a book, there may be a person being hunted down and you can enjoy the adventure.  It’s fun because you can enjoy the adventure and escape from it when you want to.  Whatever is going on while you’re reading isn’t reality and to me that is what’s fun about reading to me.  I get to use my imagination and think about what it would be like to be in there shoes, good or bad.  Also reading is relaxing to me.    Once again you can kind of forget about what’s going on around you.  Sometimes when I read, I find myself 4 hours later deep into a book.  Then you have to come back to reality which makes me want to read more.  When I was little my mom used to read me books and I used to constantly see my mom reading so it encouraged me to read.  My mom would read nonstop in completely silence so I thought it was cool because I was trying to imitate her.
