Why I read

I read for many reasons- One, it gives me something to do. Two, I love it!

     Of course, these are the first two answers that pop into my head. If you asked me to dig a little deeper, I'd say that I love to read because it's a different story every time. Each time you pick up a different book, it's going to be different from the last. Even if it's not by much. I also read because it helps me be creative. I know-- 'How can you be creative when you're reading someone else's book??' Well it's not the reading itself, but the fact that you get to make up your own version of the story in your head. You get to condure up your own image of the characters, the scenery, and people's voices. But I can't forget interpretation. I can't imagine everyone who reads a certian book, no matter what it is, has the exact same interpretation of all of the author's words. And that's what makes them special. Plus, books teach you what to-- and not to-- do, by having characters make the mistakes before you do. 'You' being a very general term, of course. What I mean by this is you learn from people's mistakes, right? Well I also learn from characters.

So from my wonderful paragraph shown above, there's more of a reason on why I read that I never even realized, and probably never would have realized before I wrote about it. And from that, you, and I, figured out the real reason behind Why I Read, and why I love to read.
