Why do you read? What do you get out of it?

@queer

another form of entertainment, but one in which ones own brain plays a significant and active role. that and there is a certain innate happiness that comes from simply concentrating on a single thing for a sustained period of time.

No better words to say this!!
I like that my brain not only stays engaged but that it grows as a result of this activity be it through gaining knowledge or experiencing something vicariously.
And yes…focusing on no more than the ONE thing brings escape from reality where I’m usually juggling more.
