Post #1 Why I Read

I read because I loved to get lost in the story. I love to find a whole new world and experience it, if only for a short while. I love to feel the emotions of the characters. I love the way reading takes me away from reality. Reading is the best escape of a bad day. Reading is my favorite escape. I also read because it's very relaxing. Sitting down on a rainy day with a good book and a cup of coffee is one of the greatest feelings on this earth. This isn't much more I could want than a good book and a cup o' joe. I also read because I like to learn new things. Every time I read a new book I walk away knowing something I didn't when I started, and I love it. I also read because it's exciting. It's exciting when I open a new book. That new book smell and cracking the spine is an AMAZING feeling. It excites me to go pick out a new book, and I get even more excited when I begin to read it. I honestly just really love reading in general.
