I saw this picture on a blog and I couldn't stop laughing! It reminded me of Nigerian home videos that use almost thirty minutes to show different adverts for upcoming movies and commercials before the main movie even starts. I read because of the following reasons:
1. I can. :p (It's sad how many can't read because of inadequate resources, funds or national crisis)
2. It provides a way of escape (although short-lived). It's sometimes easier to lose myself in a book that to face reality.
3. I love it!!!
4. It offers me the opportunity to let loose my imagination, be fearless with no regard for anyone's feelings
5. I want to be powerful (Laughs). My elementary teacher told me that Knowledge is power so I want to know as much as I can.
6. It is way better than staring at the ceiling or trying to understand the logic behind the dry joke the guy across from me is saying .
7. I have nothing better to do :D
8. I want to know
9. I'm too lazy to switch on the TV
10. It's a family trait (My Dad still wakes up at night to read his papers, my Mom and Grandma their bibles and inspirational books, don't know what my brothers read - but read... They do!)
Sincerely,
Cee
