Why do I read? The main reason I read is for enjoyment. I like to take a good book to the pool or in my backyard and just spend the whole day reading! Books tend to change how I view something especially if I can make a personal connection with the characters. I fall into the book so easily that it takes me out of reality and into the book’s plot for a couple of hours. I can also use what the character has taught me and put it into my own life. You could easily say that’s what a movie does too, but it has a lot different effect. I can easily fall asleep watching a movie but when I am reading the book, I have a tendency to not want to put it down and to keep turning the page. The author always has a purpose for writing the novel and I find it fun to read between the lines and solve the hidden message. I take it as a challenge and the best part is there isn’t really a right or wrong answer!
Good points about what makes reading fun. I agree that relatable characters make books easier to "fall into."
