READ MORE BOOKS... Stop relying on the Media and Internet as your only resource of information!
I know why I enjoy reading and it has more to do with the feeling I get when I learn something new or acquire a new skill or see things from a different perspective!
Not a big fan of fiction (have my own imagination), but I love reading about technology, history, religion, ancient cultures and geology... But I did found it interesting reading research on why others read:
26% of those who had read a book in the past 12 months said that what they enjoyed most was learning, gaining knowledge, and discovering information.
15% cited the pleasures of escaping reality, becoming immersed in another world, and the enjoyment they got from using their imaginations.
12% said they liked the entertainment value of reading, the drama of good stories, the suspense of watching a good plot unfold.
12% said they enjoyed relaxing while reading and having quiet time.
6% liked the variety of topics they could access via reading and how they could find books that particularly interested them.
4% said they enjoy finding spiritual enrichment through reading and expanding their worldview.
3% said they like being mentally challenged by books.
2% cited the physical properties of books – their feel and smell – as a primary pleasure.
In their own words, respondents were eloquent and touching.
For you readers out there... Why do you like to read?
And what do you like to read?!
