Why do I read? Well, I read because it is a wonderful getaway tactic. Whenever I get irritated at my sisters or brothers, I just pick up a book and read. It doesn’t even matter what kind of book, sometimes it’s a children’s book such as the giving tree, or any Shel Silverstein book or it’s a book someone requested to me.

 Another reason I read is usually because I am forced to either by school or by my mom. The reason I actually started reading was because of my mother. She reads all the time and every book she likes; she makes me read it, mainly so she can talk about it with someone else.

 I used to read all the time, especially for the entertainment.  My new goal is to get back into that mindset, reading because I want too, not because I’m forced too. Reading is good for your mind, and it makes people more creative and to get a bigger imagination. I also believe it can give people hope when in times of need. Reading brings back good memories. I’ve already said this but it’s just so true. Reading is for getting away, becoming something new. Also you’ll never run out of things to read. Reading is everything.
