Top Ten Reasons I Love Being a Reader
1.
Because I love to learn new things.
2.
Because I need to check out every day for awhile and refuel.
3. Because
books challenge me to think deeper, learn wider, and be better.
4. Because
I like to learn about people. What they do. What they think. How they live.
5. Because
I like to learn about other cultures and religions.
6. Because
reading helps me grow as a person and solidify my own beliefs.
7. Because
reading offers entertainment.
8. Because
I have an interest in an array of topics (and I’d rather read than ask
questions).
9. Because
I want to know what others know.
10. Because
reading helps me make small talk.
I think checking out and refueling is so important for me. I called it escaping on my list, but I think I meant the same thing. (:
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I think it is the same. So often we're made to feel bad or guilty for needing that, though. How do other people cope, I wonder!!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on wanting to know what others know! I read a lot to understand people and other cultures and stuff. It's amazing what I've learnt! Here's my TTT!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed after posting how many of my items had to do with learning. Ironically, I hated reading in school. Looking back, I think it was because I didn't feel like I was learning what I wanted to know from fiction. When I discovered nonfiction, I became a readaholic. Now I have so much catching up to do!
DeleteI've had a blast looking at others' lists, too! I enjoyed the Owls' list.
