I read because reading is fun. I like to escape reality and travel to a new place. You can go on adventures and feel like you are really there, even though you aren't. Also, my mom is a Language Arts teacher, so I grew up around books. Right now, she has over 3,000 in her classroom. When I was younger, I would raid her room and take the books back home to read.
There are so many different genres of books; fantasy, mystery, horror, comedy, realistic-fiction, science-fiction, poems, dramatic, romance, tragedy, comics, historical-fiction, fan-fiction, mythology, non-fiction, Utopian/Dystopian and more. You can never not find something to read. My favorite genres to read are typically fantasy, mystery, realistic-fiction, Utopian/Dystopian, science-fiction, and romance. Sometimes I like to read historical fiction, but only if it is a more tragic experience (i.e. the sinking of the Titanic, climbing Mt. Everest, concentration camps, etc.).
Sometimes, when I read, I like to put myself into one of the characters' shoes and see if I would do the same thing that they chose to do, or would I do it differently. Or imagine myself as one of the characters, going on all the adventures. I also like to imagine these situations occurring in real life and really make the books feel real. Reading is just something I love to do.
