[quote=Anonymous]I had a pretty horrific childhood and books were an escape for me. My voracious reading appetite also garnered me a lot of attention in school which reinforced my desire to read. I could lose myself in books and transport myself to safe, exciting places that were so very different from my reality. While they were fiction (and sometimes fantastically unreal), they helped me envision a better life, the life and family I deserved rather than the life I had. I'm in my mid-50s now and while there have been times I haven't been able to read much (grad school, small kids, etc.), I still love how books can transport me somewhere else. Ebooks and audiobooks are the greatest thing EVER. I was going through a rough time and treated myself to a Kindle Unlimited subscription (in addition to the cards I hold for 10 library systems). I'm never without a book. [/quote]
