Why I Read (Finished)

I read mostly to escape from the real world. I read because I get to think of how all the characters look and how everything around them looks. It's an escape from reality, and you plunge into your own little world of imagination. I also read because I get an adrenaline rush from it. I usually read mystery and suspense books. I find them most interesting. Once I get hooked on a book, I honestly can't put it down and will read for hours without even thinking about it. I usually read when I’m upset or angry, because it calms me down. I take a break from the real world and take the time and go to a different world inside a book. I also read to pass time, like in the car or on vacation. It gives me something to do, and it passes a lot of time, like sleeping. But reading is better. Another reason I read is to fall asleep. If I’m awake at night and can’t seem to fall asleep, I’ll pick up a book and read for a while until I feel drowsy, and I can usually fall right to sleep. I read for many different types of reasons, but mostly because I love it.
