[quote=Anonymous]I have always enjoyed reading. I love being immersed in a different time or place, I love beautiful prose, I love learning about history or science or a number of other things. Reading is a way to experience lives I could never have lived, to put myself in someone else's place and see the world in a different way. It's a way to exercise my brain and my empathy at the same time. It's also fun to discuss books with others who love reading and analyzing books beyond whether they liked the characters or the plot. I often think of Foucault's line: “There are times in life when the question of knowing if one can think differently than one thinks, and perceive differently than one sees, is absolutely necessary if one is to go on looking and reflecting at all.” For me, reading helps with that.
