I read because I enjoy reading. I love entering a new world through words, I can imagine it in my head and it's an escape from reality to something more exciting and new. I also like it because it's a great time waster and I can do it, usually, whenever I please. As well as being introduced to a new world, I also "meet" new people, I love following the charcaters and their devlopment, how they grow and change. I read because I takes me somewhere different and new.
