I read a book for pleasure and entertainment. Ok to be honest there are a lot more reasons for why I read they are ......wait for it...... drum roll please..... but for the fact that it gets me away from reality. For me, getting away from reality is a relief from stress and it helps me be a better person and also kinder to my friends and family. Also as school gets tougher we need to start staying a head of the class in order to succeed in school, so that is also another reason for why I read. As we all know in High School we have to take a test... NOT JUST ANY TEST, but the tests of all tests THE SAT & ACT, and in order to pass them you have to be a really, really good reader and in order to accomplish that I have to read a lot of books so that is also another reason of why I read.
Also According to Life Hacks.org it is said that reading books help with mental simulation, reduce stress, allows you to gain knowledge, help you expand your knowledge in grammar (now you can be the know it all in you English class), you will be able to remember correctly and also stronger thinking skills, also helps you with concentration skills, better writing skills (also another advantage for the SAT/ACT) and also it gives you free entertainment. So here are the reasons for why I read a book.
