i love to read. no, i looooove to read. i read to escape real life but more importantly, books offer the best way to travel to all the different parts of the world on the cheap. and in those books, ANYTHING can happen. dragons are real. soul mates can find their destiny. people can recover from tragedy. i get a natural high going when I am reading a really good book. i mean admit it, when you're reading a really good book, you tend to forget all the stresses in your life. it's a pleasure getting to know all the different characters, different personality types, seeing how other people live their life and to be completely lost in their world. but the best part of reading for me? is meeting other readers who love to read, too. it just doesn't get any better than that.
