I read because I have always read. My mother had somehow programmed me to ready by myself when I was really young, only a baby. Ever since then I have been hooked, quite literally.

I started reading to escape my initial teenage hormonal consequences - in short disasters which I could cause in the real world with my mouth. 😆 But truly, reading for me is a beautiful escape where the reality of this fictional world seems engrossing, beautiful, interesting, fantastical, educational and just better than my own. 😊

I'll let C.S.Lewis answer that for me. Quoting him,

"We read to know we are not alone."

I read because, i can disappear and live in a different world for a little while. So, escapism it is and Insatiable curiousity :D

" Reading is a means of thinking with another person's mind; it forces you to stretch your own." Charles Scribner
