Why I read


I live a normal life. I go to school, come home, do my homework, and hang out with my friends. But when I read I can be anything, a warrior fighting a dragon or an explorer finding some lost treasure or wizard casting a spell. I know everyone says this but for me it is different. I become the the character. I am the character. I get so caught up in a book I almost forget that it is just words on a sheet of paper and it becomes its own world. Perhaps that is why I am irritable when I am yanked out of my fantasies onto the real world. I want to go back and even if I do respond to you it is likely I will be snappish and slightly rude.Some people don’t get this but for me reading is more than just fun. Reading for me is an escape. A trip to some far away land. I don’t know,does anyone else feel this way? Do the books you are reading ever come alive?
