Books, they're paperback, hardcover, or digital pages of a different world. They describe places that either exist or don't but either way you want to go there. They have people inside of them that amaze you and that you fall in love with and they become your best friends. When you finish a book or a series you feel like there's something missing in your life until you find some more characters to share your life with. When you find a character that's just like you, they become a part of you.
Books have valuable life lessons, and even though you don't experience them yourself they make you into a better person and it's great.
Here's a quote from one of my favorite books (Inkheart by Cornelia Funke) which I think sums it up pretty well.
Some people may think reading is boring, or some people may think books are just for adults, or Adults may think adventure and fantasy books are just for kids, but they're so wrong. Up until the day I die, I will be searching all over the bookstore to find something good, no matter what my age.
Think about it, this is coming out of the head of a 14 year old girl, who is so passionate about books and reading. Why is it that so many of my generation and the generation before me are turning their backs on books and not reading and becoming almost illiterate? I don't know but I wish I could help people see that there is an adventure inside every book, and you don't even have to leave your house.
This is the reason I made this page, so I could share the things that I love with other people. Books are my love, my life, and my passion!
This is what goes through my mind when people say reading is boring.
