Reading

(go to the bottom to see some great books to buy!)

I love reading and I'm not ashamed either. I think that if you don't read you should seriously consider starting because it's amazing. If you don't read, ask yourself why you don't. and be honest too. Is it because you just overly busy or stressed? Is it because you never actually considered reading for fun? Or is it because you don't think reading is "cool"? It's most likely the last one. I honestly don't understand why people making reading as an "uncool" activity. But I have done some thinking. People don't appreciate things they already have. I mean people in 3rd world countries who don't have the chance to get an education wish they could read. Let's go back in history also when America had slaves. I think everyone heard a story about a slave wanting to learn how to read and sometimes people would teach them secretly. They didn't know how to read, but desperately wanted to. This is an amazing gift we humans have that our brain can remember these words and understand what they mean when we see them. That our brain allows us to string these words together to make beautiful poems, stories and books that could literally change a person's life. I mean if you don't think that's amazing, I don't know what will. I just think its sad because people used to read all the time and now for some people the most they read are text messages and twitter posts. Now, I used to be guilty of this. When I used to seriously care what people think about me, i would hide that i liked to read. It was also because I was scared people would think i was uncool for reading. It even got to the point where I stopped reading all together. This was in 7-8th grade, but now I'm much more confident with reading. Mostly because I don't think its uncool, but even if it is I don't care! I think reading is a great way to expand your mind and ways you think on life. Some books can give you a whole new perspective on a variety of things. I know a few that have done the trick for me. I think I could go on forever about the outstanding world of reading. It really is a whole other world that can take you on awesome adventures. When I come home from a tough day, the thing that takes my mind off of reality is reading. Books have done amazing therapy for me, that I could never repay. Lazy Saturday? I know my best lazy Saturdays are when I can just get a good book, comfortable spot, a delicious snack and maybe even some music and i just read. Book will make you laugh, smile, on edge and even cry. A lot of books make me cry, but most of those books are my favorite because they really make me feel something. What I'm trying to say is that reading is amazing and has changed my life for the better and everyone should do it.
