Reading is not a distraction, it can be the grandest adventure every time that you find the words wrapping around you like a blanket in the dead of winter; making you feel as though you're a dazed in pleasurable company. When you find yourself spinning the same weave of words for yourself or for another, it's as though you were another, a warrior that can create and destroy. But you do it all with a pleasure, a want, a need. 
I love to read and writing's a different sort of thrill; sometimes alike but different almost every time.
Oh and my favorite color is orange and I love kittens, they're so cute.
