Sometimes I read because I have to for school. I know that reading
helps me learn in school and in English but sometimes it feels like a chore. That
is why I do not limit myself to books I am required to read. I also read for pleasure.
I read because reading books I enjoy makes me happy. I read because I think
books and authors have the power to inspire me not only in my daily life but
also in my own writing. I read because when I read I can forget, for a little
while, all of the things going on in my life. Reading for pleasure is like a
stress reliever; it allows you to escape. A lot of times the reason I read
books is because the plot is engaging. Books are just like movies, they all
tell a story. I read for the same reason I watch movies, because I enjoy the
story. Another reason I read is to
connect to characters. All of my favorite books include characters that I really
like and can relate to. All of these
things make reading enjoyable for me.
So, that is why I read.
