Reading a great book is an escape without physically going anywhere. It’s stimulating and entertaining. Even when it’s a bad book, you can (if you’re lucky) discuss how bad they are with friends and have a laugh. Book clubs are good for the soul. You can experience feelings and emotions in lives you will probably never actually be in. They’re more engaging than movies because it’s all in your head, but it feels so much more real because you’re an active part in it.
Books teach you things and not just non-fiction books. You can learn and stretch your empathy muscles (not a real thing, but still) from stories in all kinds of genres. You can examine the human condition even if you’re not reading about humans; you can reminisce and fantasize and imagine. I strive to provide a new world of possibilities through books. I have always wanted my own library and I believe that this could just be the way to do it. I really hope you get great joy from this.
