[quote=Anonymous]Comfort, fun, escapism, learning things. I'm a big rereader of everything; I like revisiting stories I enjoyed and I find it easier to stop if I already know what is going to happen. If I'm reading something new that I enjoy, I find it hard to put down and with a job and little kids, I can't really let myself get sucked into new books anymore. I read a lot of genre fiction for the same reason -- predictable plots are less stressful and easier to step away from -- and am getting into nonfiction (although nonfiction is almost exclusively audiobook format for me -- I put it on while doing chore or playing with my toddlers). It's also a good way to fill time e.g. in waiting rooms/train rides. Never leave home without a book has been a family motto since my childhood.[/quote]
