I was in a huge reading slump til I picked up that book. I love to read because I can get lost in another world without anyone to bother me. The characters become my friends and the stories are so engaging that I never want to put a book down, no matter what time it is. I get to travel to so many different places while sitting at home or walking home from work. Reading is my way of becoming relaxed and chilled. Definitely puts me in a great mood. I will forever be reading and I wouldn't have it any other way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852583071241460496.post-87945838681690534622012-04-18T17:30:32.257-04:002012-04-18T17:30:32.257-04:00I love to read, because you can travel the world a...I love to read, because you can travel the world and be in as many adventures as you would like!

Then life happened and I kind of lost all focus for it. Reviews are about all I write anymore and honestly I don't really think mine are very good, they're just a wonderful excuse to talk about book. Now reading, reading is one thing I can't live with out it's like breathing. I guess antsy if I don't have access to something to read whether I'm actually reading it at that moment or not. I love the journey and I love getting lost in lives so unlike my own. I like fictional people so much better than most real people because even the most realistically written character seems to have more honor that most of the people I've encountered in real life. Characters in stories have so many more important things to worry about that they don't feel the need to turn all your facebook posts into completely twisted local gossips and they have better things to do that analyze your every move with anyone who'll listen. You can feel for a character, relate to them and get close to them because they're the one friend you'll have who will never betray you. Simply because well as real as they feel they can't because they aren't real. Setting take you places so much more interesting that your home and plots let you experience so much more that real life will allow. I'm never going to meet a vampire or travel to the Never Never in real life but in a book I've been there and experience that right alongside the character. If you can't tell I'm an escapist reader. I escape into the worlds inside whatever book I'm reading and when a book is well written I cease to see words on a page I see a movie playing out before me one that is so much more than Hollywood could ever offer or create. Books are also how I deal with life. When things really suck and most people would say they need a drink that's what I really need a book because a drink may help you forget for a moment and probably leave you with some ill effect later, but a book, a book will take you away from it all and if it's truly well written none of your worries or fears can touch you because as you slipped inside the page you aren't living your life anymore and your problems don't exist anymore, all that exists is the world the writer has created for you and the character you befriend inside the cover of that story. That is why I read.Jenn of Frequent Reader, Infrequent Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531745952455455189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852583071241460496.post-40758540182483143742012-04-18T15:14:45.123-04:002012-04-18T15:14:45.123-04:00Why I read is to get away from my life for a littl...Why I read is to get away from my life for a little while!Tara Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775249172909922004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852583071241460496.post-17065510601912220092012-04-18T11:14:13.464-04:002012-04-18T11:14:13.464-04:00I love reading!
