Whenever I hear the saying “curiosity killed the cat.” Yeah, that is complete and utter bullshit if you swear by something as stupid as that.

If you prevent your mind from expanding and that curious part of yourself dies, you eventually will too. Something as important as engaging the mind by reading is important, be it for pleasure and imagination, informative or thought provoking purposes. It brings new perspectives and experiences to your life, and this is why I continuously do it.

Because when all the work is done, I feel there is rarely a better activity I can be doing.

Before we all had devices, books were one of the few ways to travel spacetime. Now, it is taken for granted because the experience is so diluted.

Mostly for knowledge but if possible, to be entertained.

there are so many stories, there is so much knowledge I just have to knoooooooooow and I love using said knowledge for the best and of course to get myself my daily dose of entertainment 🤓

to engage deeply and fully (undistracted, no screens or pop-ups or click-away) with the seriously considered and researched ideas of another

I read because I love immersing myself in stories, learning more, and discovering new perspectives

to find myself

For the escape, the wonder, and the occasional moment of feeling truly alive.

I read nonfiction to get knowledge and expand my understanding of different subjects. I read fiction to get lost in the wild and interesting worlds created by the authors. Reading gives my body time to rest wild my mind goes on a journey. That’s why I read books.

I mainly read because I'm interested in the subject or want to learn about something.
