Why do I read?


Why do I read? I read because sometimes sitting in the bed and watching the same TV shows over and over again is annoying. Reading gives me joy, when I read I can picture the whole book in my head. I feel like I’m in that world and my imagination has the power to imagine the characters and the scenes how I want to and you don’t get that when you watch TV, everything is decided for you. When I read really good books like the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I forget I’m reading because it’s so descriptive. I feel like I’m watching a movie and the TV screen is my mind. I read because holding a book in my hand and cheering on the characters gives me a rush and makes me all giddy inside. Reading is fun and exciting.  I read because it gives me something to talk about with my friends and family and causes discussions. It gives me knowledge. I learn new things when I read and when I learn new things I get excited and want to apply them to everything in my life. It’s also is a pastime I read if I’m bored, tired or if I just want to. That’s why I read.
