Reading for the Soul
When I was younger, I enjoyed reading books. I'd join the local library and borrow books on weekly basis. But somewhere along the way, school got in the way. We had required reading and I did not enjoy much with books school forced us to read. Also, with years came much more studying, and much less time for reading, to the point I couldn't even stand looking at another book, let alone reading it.
But that changed about 2 months ago, when my cousin borrowed me a book saying it is interesting and I should check it out. And I did. I finished it in 3 days, and I was impressed. It was amazing! So I renewed my membership to the library, borrowed some more books from cousin, and even bought some on my own. Every day, I'd read at least 50 to 100 pages, except those last 100 or so pages, when I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
Reading is really good, as it lets you escape reality. In order to read the book, you need to be fully concentrated, and it is not allowing your mind to wander, which can be a great thing at times. Living through characters' lives, feeling what they feel, worrying their worries, putting your soul into written words... But the most amazing thing is when you finish reading the book, when the world looks the same, but you, you are still under the impression of another life you lived for a while. When the world looks the same, but for you, it will never be the same. As you are richer for one more life experience.
