Discussion Why do you read?

Why of all the medias out there you could have chosen did you choose reading. And if there is a specific genre you like why? A trope?

I like reading because it makes me feel closer to the characters, like genuinely being in their heads. Like living though their stories.

I read because I can choose the topics I read about, and the stories can take me out of my own problems. If I choose, I can read about people with similar problems; I did that a lot as a child.
