A few weeks ago I discussed my reading history and now I want to cover why I read. For me, I love to be told a story, I love to immerse in a completely different world. I’ve also found that now I’ve become a reader, there are a lot more books out there that I really want to read. It seems like for every book I read, I discover at least two other books I want to read. I did get so overboard with my to-read list that I had to cull it to the essentials. Not that I don’t want to read all the books that were on my TBR list, but I’m finding it really hard to keep up with all the books I want to read. There are too many books out there but so little time; I sometimes wish I could speed read so I can catch up with all the books but I think I would miss immersing myself in a book. As said before I do set myself a reading goal every year and I hope one day I’ll have enough knowledge in literature that I might be able to better recommend books to other people.
I read because I love stories in whatever form; plays, books, film. I can get inside so many heads through reading. Travel to soapy places. Experience so many things. I probably have more reasons.. 🙂
But those main reasons are great reasons anyway.

I need to cull too! At the rate I’m going I’ll never read the books I have listed!
It’s very liberating
Sounds like you’ve been inside my head Michael! Pretty much the same reasons as me…it’s so hard to understand it when people say they don’t like to read!
I don’t understand why I use to never read
