Do you like reading books?

I LOVE reading, although, over the past year, the 'why' has changed.

For reasons alike to yours, I used to lose myself in wonderful fictional worlds. What I adored perhaps was the escapism!

Now, I'm reading mostly non-fiction (currently 'On Palestine'), and I'm loving the feeling of ever increasing wisdom. The best part? I'll never know anywhere near enough. Although imagination might sadly start to dwindle as ages pass, this kind of pleasure from reading will never subside.

Hello! So I love to read books and I always have enjoyed reading ever since I learnt how to read. It gives a chance for me to escape reality and travel into another world for a while I have a huge collection of books and I was just wondering if anyone else loves reading just as much as I do. I finished reading the book "Eleanor and Park" a couple of days ago and now I am reading "Paper Towns"

I love it! I'm not sure why, I've always had access to tonnes of books and I've loved them since I was a kid. I think it's just immersing myself in another story and getting to know different characters

How did you find Eleanor and Park? Everyone seems to love it but I really didn't enjoy it!

I Love love love reading books. Anyone close to me knows this. Like someone said above the escapism is the best part. Reading the words and having to imagine the scenario or place is the best part for me. I love the fact that books sharpen my imagination.

I generally spend my days reading a book, and zoning out of the world. when im in trouble my mom confiscates all my books. So i end up contemplating life without books. I would probably die of boredom if there was no books or library.

Aww :' it's good to see that there are still people who enjoy reading books because in this day and age, many people are so caught up on their phones and social media, that they don't read books anymore I'm glad I don't have a phone, I'm happy with my books haha

Yes. I love reading, pretty much for the same reason you stated. As far as I can remember I loved being told stories (bedtime stories etc). I'm the kind of guy that can just sit anywhere and happily past time day dreaming myself a story. Sometimes I can create a world/story which I can continuously go back to in my day dreams.
My day dreaming did become troublesome in school for a while though, it made it had to pay attention in class. I digress.

Read mostly non-fiction, maths & science and other random fiction.

I have always like reading and I try to read at least a little bit every day. Sometimes I find I go through periods of days or weeks where I can't seem to get any reading done at all but I always get over it and come back to reading eventually. I find that when I'm reading something for school I am much less motivated to finish it as it feels like a chore, but when I get to choose the book and don't have a deadline then there's little I enjoy more.
By the way, you said that you're reading Paper Towns, have you read any of the other John Green books? I've read all of them and he's definitely one of my favourite authors.

You're like me except from the last part. I read mostly fiction but the part about concocting stories in my head and daydreaming for hours is becoming a problem for my parents. Cause sometimes I would just think of a really funny line(...well...funny to me) and just start laughing out loud. Sometimes I get so into the daydream I speak out loud so it looks like I am talking to myself and slowly losing my mind.
