Why I Read
I can't even remember a time where I wasn't in the middle of, starting or finishing a book. Even as a kid, I was constantly taking trips to Half Price Books with my mom, searching for something new and interesting to read. I have always been open to read anything from a sappy chick-lit novel to an encyclopedia of marine animals. Books have been a way to get away from anything stressful or just an excuse to not talk to people on a plane ride. Reading is an escape from the real world and a place where you can dive into a character's problems and conflicts. I love to read because books have a lot to teach us; from simple, things like facts and figures, to more abstract things, like life lessons. It doesn't matter what or how I read something, I always get some kind of knowledge out of it.
