“Why do I read?I just can't help myself.I read to learn and to grow, to laughand to be motivated.I read to understand things I've neverbeen exposed to.I read when I'm crabby, when I've justsaid monumentally dumb things to thepeople I love.I read for strength to help me when Ifeel broken, discouraged, and afraid.I read when I'm angry at the wholeworld.I read when everything is going right.I read to find hope.I read because I'm made up not just ofskin and bones, of sights, feelings,and a deep need for chocolate, but I'malso made up of words.Words describe my thoughts and what'shidden in my heart.Words are alive--when I've found astory that I love, I read it again andagain, like playing a favorite songover and over.Reading isn't passive--I enter thestory with the characters, breathetheir air, feel their frustrations,scream at them to stop when they'reabout to do something stupid, cry withthem, laugh with them.Reading for me, is spending time with afriend.A book is a friend.You can never have too many.”By Gary Paulsen, Shelf Life: Stories by the Book ( https://amzn.to/3QJDAE5 )
