I read, because it is a fun and exciting way to discover new ideas. You can learn more about what kinds of things you are interested in, and you can really start to appreciate an author's work. I believe that reading is important, because it is a good way to use your imagination. You can travel on amazing adventures, fly on broomsticks, find sunken treasure and meet wonderful characters. Reading can really be magical if you want it to be. Once you find a book or author that really peaks your interest, you can start to love reading, and find it very enjoyable.
