There are many reasons why I love to read. I didn’t start actually sitting down and reading book until about the 7th grade. The first book I got into was Harry Potter. I absolutely loved it. I never realized I could be sucked into a novel like how I was. I never wanted to put the book down. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. Then when I finished the book I had an over whelming feel of accomplishment. It felt really good to be able to say I just read a 300 paged book. Then it made me go on to all of the other Harry Potter books and I finished all of them within a few weeks and it felt great. I also love to read because I love all of the different plots and story lines of books. It takes you into another world, into the world the characters are in. Sometimes it acts an escape from the real world almost. I also feel like I am getting smarter while I read because when I read new books I am always introduced to new words or things that I didn’t know the meaning of before. I usually only read books that were recommended from friends or family because they are always good and from experience if I try to pick a random book it doesn’t end up being good. Or I look at the best seller list to get ideas for books I could read. Books are great, and that is why I love to read.
