Sorry.. yes, here's my reply.

I read for various reasons: It helps me pass time in a good way, I love being able to escape into a fictional world, I enjoy getting to know the characters, and reading really helps me as a writer too.

I don't know how I started reading... been forever ago but it is more of an obsession now. I love reading and collecting books. I hope to one day have a little library of my own.

I just love to get lost in the fantasy world and escape the reality of life for some time.
It's one of my favorite past times and it helps me keep my stress at bay.

Escapism, entertainment, sense of accomplishment, and very, very rarely - but for education purpose sometimes too. But main is to get LOST from this mundane world.

Cool question. Well i dunno but maybe i have got some extra ordinary imagination. while reading a book every scenario is like playing in my head. the book transforms into picture n then who could resist power of fantasy world.
I enjoy reading for all possible reasons. escape the reality, living in a part of world described by author, gaining information. Book never ditches u or give u importance as per their mood. they have got no priorities sorted out unlike us. all we have to do is appreciate its existence n enjoy it... 🤗

It was and still is a great escape route from dull and difficult academics...same is the case with watching movies or any other form of entertainment 😆

I grew up in a house full of books and reading materials, and with a mom who is a voracious reader I guess it was only natural that I would become a bookworm myself 😆.
I read because its a great form of escape where you can let your imagination run wild with the book coming alive in your head like a movie, where you have your own cast and the scenes play out just the way you picture it. Plus, its a great way to gain perspective or immerse yourself in time periods, countries and cultures so different from our own without leaving the comfort of your seats. Its the ultimate stress-buster for me.
