I love reading, i wouldn't be on here if i didn't, i love it because each book has a different life for you to jump into. You could be a fairy, a vampire or a princess, ride a unicorn, feed a griffin or run with a pack of wolves. The possibilities are literally endless, although, i personally tend to stick with dark fantasies involving vampires, wolves, fallen angels etc.
If i could be anything i would be a vampire, but that's just me and it's extremely unlikely to ever happen anyway, so in the mean time i can feed my fantasy with the dozens of books i own/collect.
