Raaghavi                                          I read mostly just for fun. I read because I want to not because I have to. I read for entertainment especially when I'm bored. I also read to calm down. I read to relax and to "forget" about and escape from different things. When I read I feel as if the whole world and all my problems melt away. When I read I feel as if the book is my life long companion. I read so I can learn and take all the elements that I like from the book and apply it to my own writing.

I read because it puts me in different situations and to see what other people go through as well as how they deal with it. I also read for educational purposes to help me in different subjects as well as increase my general knowledge. I also do it to relax and it feels calming so it helps me zoom out of the real world.

I like to read because I can escape and I can learn about new people that live in a different world than me. I also like letting the author change what I  might think about something. I also feel like I am going on a trip with the character and it always brings me right into the book.

I like to read because I like to let the writer take me through a journey of words. Through an adventure or mystery or crime or many other genres. I like reading because I can learn new things solely by reading. I like to read to broaden my imagination, get new ideas and because it is just really fun and interesting. I read to to put myself in someone else's shoes , thoughts and actions. I read to to feel and grow to love the characters and the plot and all the parts of the story. I read to escape reality and join fantasy.

I like to read (depending on the book) because it gives me a variety of different feelings, from happiness to anger to even sadness! Books transport me to a 'Alice in Wonderland' type location. It gives me the opportunity to drive away from the homework and stress (I am not stressed while doing homework, it is just a saying to explain the 'impossibilities' in this world) towards the 'Utopian' land for me. Books let me experience things I might/will never do. Books let me know the adventures of others, and also it let's me introspect myself. For example: Can I do what he does? Rock climb as fast as you can otherwise the bad guys can kill you. Can I DO that? Probably not. Books can point out what I can and cannot do. I wrote this on my book: I aim to read a minimum of 30 pages. Normally I read 50-70 pages a day. It depends on the book though. for example, Illuminae, a fantastic, innovative, sci-fi action thriller. I find myself thinking about the main character. Books give an odd but amazing feeling between you and the character.

I read for fun, if its an really interesting book then I normally pick up new vocabuarly for writing and/or speaking. Reading is like watching a movie/tv show except without sound and pictures...

Most people think you read to learn, but I think that you read also for enjoyment, to have some alone time, to forget about everything else and get lost into your own little world, to learn how to put yourself into other people's shoes, to empathize, etc. Reading brings you a whole range of emotions that you feel even though you are not experiencing anything! That is what is amazing about reading!

I read to think and have fun while reading. I read because it makes you disconnect from the world and makes you focus only on the book, and with a good storyline, it makes sense to be "addicted" to a book. It helps us become critical thinkers and can help you smarten up depending on what genre you are reading about.

I read to understand other people thoughts and ideas. To know why people behave the way they are now. I read to collect my thoughts and distract myself from the problems I have. Reading also teaches me subjects I enjoy like Science.

I read to calm my self and it helps me to rest . People read for many different reasons . To some people reading is considered as a ticket to a different world. But for some people the reason why they read can be personal. Most of the people to gain education which I used to do. Reading is an important part of our lives, it helps us to be more patient, quiet and helps to back up your grammar
