I read to take an adventure, to experience things out of this world, to be a new self, and to find a new reality.
When I read I want to be taken to a new place: to a place where I can forget the real world, to a place that is different, to a place that makes me think differently, and to a place that puts the world into a different perspective.
When I read The Fault in Our Stars(for the first time) it took me less than twenty-four hours. I was taken to an alternate universe. This universe was sarcastic, witty, smart, and awful. It had many characters staring life-altering experiences in the face. It showed me how amazing life could be even when there are terrible circumstances. It reminded me that I could be in way worse situations and that I should make the most out of everyday.
Books are something to be thankful for, to be happy that they are not censored by the government, and we should be grateful that we can read whatever we want(unless our parents say no).
I read because it gives me an escape, make me happy, and make me who I am.
