Why I read?

There are many reasons I read but these are my favorite. One of the main reasons, and favorite reason, I read is because it puts you in a different world, you can escape reality. Reading is not my absolute favorite thing to do all the time but even if I don’t feel like reading once you start reading and you really get into what you’re reading, you forget about your life, your surroundings, and mostly you forget about time. That’s my favorite part about reading, Is when you look up from your book and you realize what has felt like 2 minutes has been an hour or more, and you think you’ve only read 5 pages but you’ve read a million and you don’t ever remember flipping the page because your mind is so much engulfed in the story. The other main reason I read is that it makes you smarter, more intelligent. I think as a person you gain more common sense. Every story you read teaches you about the people, places, even the time periods in the story. Typically smarter people read more. Every time you read you become more cultured, your vocabulary could have expanded, it makes you a more well-rounded person.
