Why I Read As Many Books As Possible

The places you’ve traveled, the books you’ve read, and the people you’ve loved are all embedded in and an extension of our personality.

People who work out and those that don`t, you can’t tell the difference after one day; a month later, you might find a little bit of difference. Five or ten years later, you can see evident differences between them, no matter mentally or physically. The same is true with reading. With time passing by, you will recognize big differences between those who love reading and those who don`t read.

Some have said I’ve read lots of books, but I’ve forgotten most of them. What is the meaning for reading?

I would say when I was a kid, I ate lots of snacks, but I don’t remember what I had eaten. There is one thing that must be true - some of them have nourished my body.

Some may ask young girls what is the importance of reading so many books? The ultimate destiny for most of them is having an ordinary job, becoming a housewife, giving birth to children, taking care of her husband and even cooking similar meals.

I think after I have read many books, even I follow the ordinary woman’s path, I may do the same work but with a different mood; I may have a similar family as others, but my family would have a better atmosphere; I may have the same kids, but they would have different life quality……..

Reading lets me have a rich mind even though I don’t have a rich life.

I don’t want to say reading would make us extraordinary, but reading means we are not fully satisfied with the reality. We still recognize the possibility to improve our life or to have another life style.

I read so that I could make friends who have a similar mind as me, and to become an interesting person that loves to think about everything.
