answer:Reading functions on so many levels for me. I use it for escapism, for education, for investigation, for support, for help, for answers, for questions, for history, for fun. The characters in my favorite books are like friends, people that I look forward to (re)visiting. The series that I enjoy are sources of anticipation and excitement. The information on topics of interest fascinate me, and excite a search for further information. I can’t imagine a life without books.
