Mind travel

If a little kid came up to you and asked why you'd want to read what would your answer be? What compels us to search out an escape through a story whether true, fictional, or otherwise? What is the deciding factor for whether you like a book or don't even want to finish it? 

Every story, every book, every cover is unique and different. Each have something to offer that the reader must discover. As an aspiring author, I look deeply into how an author writes sometimes to figure out what made the book great. Other times i just read for a nice story. The important thing is that when we read we can imagine pirates on the open seas or a gun fight in Harlem. Reading brings a vitality to life by letting their mind travel and see things that the reader might not be able to or have to option of doing. 

So go read a book. There are so many options and different stories that surly one would interst you.

If that child asked me why I read, I'd tell him that I read to experience the world.
