Why do I read?

Why do I read? I read because I want to.

I read because I want to know what’s happening around me when I can’t get out.

I read because I want to know what we are learning about in class.

I read because I want to escape from reality.

I can go on and on about why I read, but in all honesty I’m like everybody else. I read because I like to read. I like to escape into a new world and I like to learn all about it. Reading gives me a break from my working life. While I read I don’t have to worry if my customer’s food is out on time or if it’s too spicy for them or if they want to send back their food because their sauce is touching their chicken. NO. While I read I don’t have to worry about anything like that, I can just sit back, relax and be happy with myself.
