Why Do People Love Reading Novels & Stories

“If you hate it so much, why read it?“ “Who said I hate it? I enjoy reading books where the main character is different from my personality. I think it’s no fun when I’m too similar to a character, it would be like I’m reading a story about myself, when I’m reading to escape the reality of my life.” Oh, he thinks deeply. Not expecting that from him, to be honest. I mean, it’s not that he looks dumb, but he just doesn’t look like the “smart, bookworm” type either.

“But I never said I liked the older romance novels either. I’m an English major and I really believe some of these books should eat dust.” He started to laugh and I joined in, feeling completely at ease with this stranger that seemed to enjoy reading just as much as I did. We discussed more about our favorite books and he even recommended some erotica that ‘taught him how to be a better lover’, his words exactly. I laughed when he told me his friends would never let him hear the end of it if they ever found out he loved reading. “How did you fall in love with reading?” I asked him. “I didn’t really have a choice. My mom brought me here every single day after school and I had to keep myself b

She rattled on about how she loves to read books especially love stories and how happy she’s to get a new friend who happens to share the same hobby with her. I don’t fancy love stories because I can easily predict what’s gonna happen next like who wouldn’t? Besides, it’s kind of boring to read the same plot repeatedly; boy meeting the girl, girl meeting the boy, starting from simple infatuation to attraction, then one of’em will confess, and BAM! They start dating and blah blah blah. It’s predictable. I’d rather read genres like adventure, action, crime, thriller, fantasy, etc., where things’re not much predictable plus you’ve to use your brain. At least you can learn something new. “Here w

"Is that a bad thing?" "Of course, it's not. I actually like those people who love to read books. Their minds... I like the depth of their way of thinking. Complex but full of wisdom, and they know to view things in different angles or perspective. In my many years of existing, I have only met some people with that mind depth. Most of them are writers and bookworms." "I also think that way," I said. It really feels good to have someone who has the same perspective as yours. You know, talking about something is different from talking about something that concerns you in a way that both of you have the same way of viewing the topic.

It makes you feel like you belong. This is also why I love reading—it keeps me engaged, gives my mind something to do, and, honestly, it prevents boredom from creeping in. Then, there’s a knock on the door. I feel a little caught off guard, so I lean over to grab my glass of wine again, thinking it’ll make me seem like a businesswoman—like I’ve got everything together. But in my haste to put it back on the coffee table, I almost spill it all over my sleepwear. My legs, still crossed, scramble to readjust.

And quite frankly I do not see myself as someone that would change in marriage, especially in one like ours that isn't birthed out of love but just convenience. I was at the university library, for a guy who has one of the worst reputation of being a flirtatious flirt, I spend awfully a lot of time In the library, I formed the habit of reading when I was young and my dad would lock me up in the library in an attempt to punish me and ask me to read about history and other irrelevant facts, while my sisters would go out to play and have fun. But as I grew up, I actually discovered how reading shapes ones mind and now I do it out of pleasure not because I was being forced by anyone

“I thought more people would like the movie because the actors are really beautiful. The male and female lead of the film also won many great prizes.” "I'm not very interested, it's normal. I prefer the character depicted in the story.” After talking about story books, the two began to move on to another topic. “Do you come here often?” "It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I come here often to read books on the shelves, because I'm too lazy to buy them." Aurora Gabriel shrugged and looked at the man in front of her, very interesting indeed. Why? He has one thing that Aurora Gabriel has always wanted, which is comfort, a bit of leisure, in general, he has the freedom that others desire.

"The bookstores are not just selling our books, they are protecting them." Elena looked up at Julian. Smiled. She was happy because she had been writing for a time and it had always been hard. She used to write all night just to keep her books visible online.. Now things were different. She had a place to write. People were reading her books because they wanted to, not just because they saw them online. "They used to tell us that our books were only good if people were reading them online, " Elena said, taking a sip of tea. ". That is not true. When people read a book they are not just reading it they are part of something."

I continued with a wide grin. "Gwen!” He called out in amusement. "I love spending time with you too but there must be something you love so much!” He insisted and I knew he didn't get my joke. I wasn't lying though but it wasn't entirely the truth. “Well, I have grown to love reading, thanks to you, you have made me develop a habit of reading! There is just this magical feeling, it feels like you have left your world and gotten lost in the book because it is too good! Reading feels like a portal to another world which I only have to read to be able to enter!” I explained with a smile. Think about a recent book I read that added pleasure to my life making it a little sweeter.

Other days, he seemed content with just having me around while doing trivial trifles. Eric loves to read, but when I ask, he never tells me what he's reading. When I mentioned how much I enjoyed reading, he gave me Shakespeare's Hamlet. I thought it ironic that he gave me the story of one man's obsession with revenge and how it poisoned everyone around him. He didn't seem to find it very interesting, but let me keep the book. I don't know what to think about it anymore.
