Post # 1: Why I read

I read for many reasons, One I think is because I've been reading ever since I can remember so it was kind of instilled in my brain that I should always be reading and enjoying it. But when I was younger I hated to read because my mom wouldn't read to me anymore, so I had to learn how to enjoy books that I enjoyed not baby books anymore. Like I learned that I love mysteries and love stories, but not really corny ones. I think reading allows someone to escape and go visit someone elses world and what they live like, and kind of become them when you're reading, it's a really cool thing to be able to read a book and totally envelope yourself in the writers characters life. For instance if they have like a sense of adventure and excitement in their lives it keeps you intrieged and it can be a lot more fun to read and relax then staring at a screen all day. I don't know why I honestly love to read I think it's one of the weirder things about me because I really have no idea why I love to read when I don't really love to watch tv and go into peoples words that way. I think you can imagine the characters a lot more and make them who you want them to be in a way. That interests me.
