Chapter 3 - WDYR?

Why do you read?

Why do I read?

I highly recommended Beware of Chicken. It is an unfinished novel, but it scratches a long time itch that I've had.

Sometimes I read novels because I'm feeling particularly lonely. At other times I read novels because I want adventure or I'm seeking cheap entertainment.

I'm reading BoC, in particular, because I want peace. I want to place myself as a character in that book and live out a quiet peaceful life.

I use to call myself an escapist. Escaping from all of life's problems.

When I'm lonely, why don't I go outside and meet someone new? When I'm bored or hungry for adventure, why don't I better myself or work on one of my hobbies?

Everyone has different motivations for why they read on here. Sometimes life can be so unpleasant that you need a place to escape to, even momentarily, even if it's only within your mind.

But for me, things aren't so serious, maybe it's time I stop escaping? Maybe it's time I stop running? Maybe it's time I break the habits I've been meaning to break and create something new?

Good luck to you, and good luck to me.

Take care.
