Reading, or being a reader isn't about reading the longest books, the hardest books, it's not about pretending to read-and enjoy-the classics. It's about having the unfaltering ability to slip into someone else's skin, their soul, with just a few words.

Being a reader is living a thousand lives in a thousand different places in a thousand different ways, knowing that with just the turn of a page you can be at the centre of a whole new web of infinite outcomes and existences, with their own infinite strands ...just by one life touching another's by a shadow.

Being a reader is being someone that can see and love the good things in life, and when the real world isn't coming up to scratch, knows that there are a million places to hide and be different and cry and love and live...

In case you hadn't picked up on it, I like reading :)
