A book is an alternate world. One where you get to discover new things, open your eyes, and change your views. It offers entertainment, enlightenment, and consolence. In a book anything can happen and that's the draw. A book can answer those what ifs that all of us have. What if I could fly? What if I got hired to solve a murder case when I'm only a journalist? The answers intrigue us and carry us away while engaging our mind and making us feel whole. Books are like an encyclopedia, full of answers without the boredom.
Does it matter if you use a Kindle or a hardback?
No. If it's a good book you'll get lost in the words and the image in your head. If the book is good you won't be focusing on what is in your hand, but what that author wrote. A hardback only helps as a keepsake something to look at and value. Maybe its a gift from a loved one, maybe its the best book you've ever read. But the Kindle offers you that information immediately. But the truth is is that the your experience with the book is all your own and you should pick the form that maximizes your experience. If you prefer hardback that's what you should read, and vice versa.

Why i Read
thrill of entering another world where anything is possible. Reading is my favorite hobby and will most definitely be my favorite hobby forever. It involves no exercise whatsoever, and yet its as exciting as any race, game, or any other form of entertainment. I'll be reading and find myself racing through a book, not even realizing that to a non-reader that the beginning is slow because to me the characters are as interesting as any plot.
I can literally read at any time and find my biggest problem to be that I ran out of books again rather than the fact that I haven't yet finished an important project for school. At home my books overflow my room, and take me hours to organize whenever I get a new book and am trying desperately to find room for it. If I won the lottery I would most likely expand my room and fill it with comfy chairs and books. :) I can't imagine not reading, it takes up so much of my time that it definitely could be called an obsession.
Reading allows me to take my mind off things for awhile and just live in the world the book takes me. Nothing works as well as reading a book. After all if you're reading nothing matters but the characters and the plot and that world, so how can you think of your lost ring or huge project? Not to mention that when the character is in a life or death situation an A or A+ no longer seems so big impossible or important.
Although I write my reading isn't for that, in fact its the other way around. Reading to me is my time, not my english teacher's or vocabularys or anything else's. Most books (unless the kill of the really great killers (JK Rowling) or got off on rants (memoirs)) deserve to be read and nothing depresses me more than a huge list of books and thinking that I may never read all of them.
