post 1: Why do you read?

I read for many different reasons. Reading is a way to escape reality, dive in and explore a whole new world. When I read I’m able to see many different perspectives and point of views of others in the text. You are able to understand characters and the plots a whole lot better than just watching a movie or a show. Books go so much more in detail on what is going on, and who the characters really are, so you can relate to them or see what kind of person they are. I always like books more than the movies they are turned into for that reason, detail. Reading is so relaxing, you don’t have to think or worry about anything except the characters you are reading about. If I’m having a bad day or I just want to escape I read. I mostly read sad, romance books, I don’t know why, I don’t like being sad, There is always something about them though that pulls me in and makes me not want to put the book down. Books have helped me become a better reader, I used to hate reading and was slow at it but as I started reading more and enjoying books I got a lot faster at it and I really enjoy reading now.
