Great answers, guys ❤️ For me: escape, sanity, fun, just-as-important-as-brearhing, a way to learn new things, a way to understand other people’s points of view, and probably so much more ❤️
It’s not just learning. For me it’s meeting new people, experiencing different things, travelling, everything. I’m always indoor tho. But thanks to books I went around the world.
Reading is the best thing I do for me. Avid reader since 8. In my 30s – with full time job, husband, 2 kids, house, dog, his family, my family, cooking, cleaning, shopping ….. little time for reading. Said that when I retired I would read as much as I could. Now I’m retired . . .reading is how I spend a huge amount of my day … and night ?
A lifesaver! It has allowed me an escape into another world and allowed me to forget my problems for a short time, even allowing me to smile. It provided an escape during a past abusive marriage, and cancer treatments. In 2016 I sustained a brain injury and after having to learn to read again it allows me to escape to another place especially due to the physical limitations I now have. Reading is the one constant thing in my life ,since childhood, that has always been there for me. I can now say my amazingly supportive husband, our granddaughter (and our kids), along with books are my constant sources of happiness.
For me reading is living ❤️
Therapeutic!
Reading is my life.. No life without books

Bliss! I read mostly in bed and there is nothing like a good reading light, nice cup of tea and a good book before I settle down for the night?
It calms me down after all the stresses I have. But I have always love reading since I was a little girl anyway.
I love reading stories in my dreams.

For me, reading is getting into a mind that is not my own, having feelings which are not my own.
