Why do I read? (Best Sellers)

Why do I read?  I read for adventure. I read to learn. I read to laugh. I read to cry. Why wouldn't anyone want to read? I have loved to read since I first learned how. I always like to have a book in hand, but as of lately, I don't always have time to sit down and relax with my Kindle or a paperback. One of my favorite reasons to read is that a good book can take you to a different world. If an author uses sensory details, and characterize everyone so you have a clear image of the characters, and make you feel like you are living this story with the characters, that is why I read. I read to expand my vocabulary. If there are words in a book I don't know (which there most times are) I make a list on my bookmark and put the page number with it so that I can eventually look it up and find out what it means. People always ask: What is your favorite book? For me, this is an extremely hard question to answer. I like books for different reasons. I like when books have a point of view that isn't common. Like the Series of Unfortunate Events are written in the authors perspective, but sometimes the author is writing straight to the reader and not about the actual book. That makes me feel very involved in a book. Overall, I prefer books written in first person, but it really doesnt matter. I like realistic fiction, like TFiOS and Perks. I have learned so much about life, people, and history through books. Books are rad.
