Post #1: Why I Read Books.

I read because it is an entertaining way to live in a story. Movies and TV shows can physically show you what they want you to see, but I books add more of a creative touch to a story because you have to create the images and pictures in your head throughout the story. I read both for pleasure (occasionally) and when I am forced to for classes. In my experience, reading is one hundred times easier when it is a book that I choose to read because I am not being forced to suffer through it. I read because it enriches my mind with a story that has many different themes and advice that I can apply to my own life. Being able to talk to someone about books is very interesting because you could both read the same book and have a completely different perspective on a certain event in the book. That's what I like about books; they're open for interpretation while still giving the reader a creative story that engages them with both the characters and the situations involved. Whether I read a book for a class or read it just for fun, reading is a great way to give your mind a fun and interesting story that you can think about and love for years to come.
