Post #1: Why I read

The main reason I read is to be informed about concepts, current events, or past events. After watching this video, I could agree with some of these peoples reasons like exiting into a different time or place in the universe.
 
Going back to the main reason for why I read is I want to know whats going on around me. One of the worst feelings for me is that people talk things that I don't know. I have to listen to the conversation despite my cluelessness and wait until a later time to do my own reasearch about the topic so I can understaned their experience or opinion about the event. Or sometimes its a word that they throw in that I don't know what the meaning is.
 
I'm a guy who doesn't read unless I am "forced" to read, its rare for me to read for pleasure. Most of these times include reading for school. When I'm reading for school, I kind of find myself right there in the scenario with the characters like some of the people in the video. It's kind of cool how books work in that way. It makes me question whether I did things in the book in reality or not.
