There are a multitude of reasons why I read. Some books I read for knowledge. This includes textbooks and webpages about stuff similar to what's in the textbook. Usually this type of reading is forced. However there is some knowledge that I find fun to attain. Sports stories and statistics are basically the first thing I read when I wake up and the last thing I read before bed. I love to know what's going on in the sport world. Another reason why I read is because I have to. I had to read "In Cold Blood" and I had to read "Frankenstein." Both of those don't fit my taste in books. My favorite reason to read is because I enjoy it. I like to see what stories that authors have envisions and given life. Sometimes the false reality in a story can be just as realistic as the one we live everyday. Creating a different reality or even an impossible reality is often more fun than reading about what has already happened. (Ex: In a history textbook.) One other great reason to read is because it makes you a better writer. Learning about possible writing styles or what topics satisfy you really help shape who you are as an author.
