Why I Read

I read because it allows me to escape into a different mindset so for the period of time you are reading you aren't thinking about anything but the book and the characters. It also helps you relax and I also like that there are books about everything and there are so many different genres so whatever you want to read about there is probably a book somewhere about it and you can never run out of books to read because new ones are coming out all the time! You also have the option of reading independently or in a group like a book club. One thing I like about reading in book clubs is that when you talk about the book it allows you to see what other people interpreted from a chapter or what they think about the characters and this shows you how differently people interpret a book. One last thing I like about reading is that it can also give you ideas for writing your own books or articles and it can help expand your horizon to new vocabulary by reading books with a bigger word range. Because of all these things I like to read!
