Post #1: Why I Read

  
I read for many reasons.  But the main one reason is that I just love to read.  I get immersed into books very quickly.  I find it extremely enjoyable and surprisingly fun to read.  Once I pick up a book, I won’t put it down until I am finished with it.  Sometimes, books suck me in like a black hole.  My only escape option is to finish the book.  I read so I can fall asleep at night; reading until I can’t keep my eyes open but yet, I still keep reading until my body listens to my brain and shuts down making me finally go to sleep.  I read so I can keep my mind working, and thinking about the book.  Reading allows me to explore a new world, the world inside of the book.  I read so I can get to know the characters of books, and become best friends with them.  I read so I can be right there with the characters all the way throughout the book, or even series.  I like getting to know the characters really well.  Finally, I like reading because it allows me to kick back, relax, and let myself go.
