Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it.

My passion is reading. I love to read is like something I can do all day. I love reading all types of stuff. The books I mostly like to read are werewolves,  vampire, fiction, non-fictions, real life stories, mysteries, horror, fairy tales, mafia and romantic books. I mostly like reading werewolves, vampire, romantic, mafia and real life books because I learn from them about life and love.

Every time I have free time to read I take the chance and do it because I feel like by reading my brain process more information and I expand my mind into learning new vocabulary. I read because it's an escape from the ordinary into a new world, a change of pace and a chance to be with myself. I read because it's a fundamental skill that I never want to lose. I read because I know that I have so much to learn, despite being educated.

Reading is one of the few activities left that allows individuals to have visions, experiences and emotions through their own sense of interpretation. It allows for a completely imaginary existence between the reader and the written word. We learn to read and interpret text at a very young age, many learning the alphabet before kindergarten.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading. 

Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.

Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice. Reading also allows for development of the mind. By reading, I am continuously learning about something new. Beyond this feeding my naturally curious personality, it also helps me understand real life situations better, as I have been given a view point that I did not have prior to reading.
