Being a READER!

HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN SO LOST INTO A BOOK YOU DIDNT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY AND YOUR IMAGINATION?

"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." 

And when you lose yourself in a book, it's where you really find yourself.

Reading was my escape, I could go anywhere, be anything, and I didn’t even have to talk to anyone.

The feeling that I get when I read is an amazing feeling, to lose myself in someone else's world and to not have to be in own world, was life changing

The English major is, first of all, a reader.

When you have a 1000-page book in front of you, it's no easy task and can be very daunting.

Reading started becoming who I was, everywhere I went I had a book in my hand, and in front of my face. 

I READ BECAUSE ONE LIFE IS NOT ENOUGH!

True readers don't care about the stereotype, they do it for the pleasure and passion.

Marilyn Monroe was definitely one to fight the stereotype, she loved to read, and to be pictured reading.

I became known as a nerd in high school even though I was terrible at math and science but because I read I automatically got that label.

I've learned to accept all my quarks and nerdish qualities now that I am older, and love the advantages that it has given me.

Reading is a skill acquired through practice and dedication

Once acquired it improves your life by helping with
1.Imagination
2.Critical Thinking
3.Happiness
4.Overall Health

When you're reading certain words like perfume or coffee the parts of your brain that light up are the ones that have to do with sense of smell
Studies even show that up to five days after reading about the book, when you talk about it your brain lights up just as if you were reading it then. 

Reading is the ability to make sense of written or printed symbols

"If I had a world of my own,  everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't." -Alice

I like to put earbuds in while reading to drain everything out!
