Do you read to get away? To relax? Only to study? What are some reasons you read? I enjoy reading for numerous reasons. I love to find a book with such a captivating story that I can't put it down. I also enjoy reading for studying or just general education. I try to learn something new everyday

I love to read because when I do I create my own movie inside my head. And when I close my eyes to sleep that night, I will dream of my characters in my book. Its the best movie ever because they look just how I want them to! I also get to feel the emotion and learn many things in life and about life :) That's why I read

I read to study. Lately I have been reading a book that gives a "brief" overview of topics on the MCAT. It is 500 pages long though and I've been reading it for half a month. I am impressed with myself that I've even gotten to 50 pages, but I only have about one more month and I really need to go to the end.

There are several reasons why I read. The main reason being that I really enjoy reading. It's something that I've always enjoy doing. For me, reading has also been a form of escape. It was a good escape, when I used to live with my parents. And it's still an escape from my daily life and the problems that I still have with my folks. On top of that, I feel that I can learn a lot by reading books, novels, and such.

I've enjoyed reading ever since I was a little kid, and I still love it.I read for various reasons. Mainly for relaxation and entertainment. But what else allows you to decide if you want to scare yourself, go to a country you've never been to, educate yourself, laugh yourself into a better mood, or make you cry. Books are wonderful tools that I wish everyone took advantage of. Books are available on every topic one could think of, the don't care what color, gender, or age you are. You can learn to cook all types of food, travel all over the world, books are just plain GREAT!

I like to read because it gives me thoughts. It gives me wonders. I like interesting books.Like the ones where you say I wonder whats gonna happen next and then you can't put the book down. I read because it gives me a chance to relax. And also I learn from it. After I read a sentence that I learned from I say Ididn't know that. So books are very interesting. And you get taught from them. Thats why I read. Thats why I love to read.
