Why do I read?

Why Do I Read?

I read because it is important. I think that it is important because it helps us gain knowledge and helps us understand the English language better.  I read because I think it is fun. It’s fun because if you can find a good book that you like it can take you to a different world, to a place that you could only imagine of. I would compare reading a book to being addicted to a drug because you just can't put it down. Like I just can't stop it just goes page by page and I can't stop. If I find a book that I just love I will read it so many time that I lose track of the times that I have read it. I think that everyone should read, not just school books because most people don’t like school books except for a few (The Catcher and the Rye) if you find a book that you really enjoy they you just can’t put it down, it truly is like being addicted to a drug. Most people who say that don’t like to read have just never found a book that they have never enjoyed reading before. If you have any doubt you should always read the book or at least start it and try to read it. That’s why I read and why I think you should read.
