Post 1: Why I Read

When I get started on a good book, it’s nearly impossible for me to put it down. I love reading good books because they make you think about worlds different than my own. I also like that I’m gaining knowledge by just reading a book that I enjoy. I think reading books helps me become a better writer because I obtain higher vocabulary and get a better idea about what audiences are captivated by. I read because I want to become worldlier and have an open mind to anything. Reading enhances my imagination and makes me a more creative person. Reading is a fun activity and it is a much better use of time compared to watching TV or playing computer games. I read because I generally love because a great plot and captivating writing can hold my attention forever. I’ve loved reading since I was little because I love hearing about different things. Some times in school I am forced to read books for projects or quizzes. I have a harder time reading when it’s not for enjoyment because these books don’t hold my attention. When a school book is interesting and required, that is the best situation. I like to read because reading a good book is a great experience.
