While traveling, I finished three books and read parts of two others.
I benefitted from having the evenings to myself, and used them for great benefit.
I am inspired by what I read, both fiction and non-fiction.
Fictional characters guide me in abstract ways. I can project myself onto them and their situations and reactions onto my life.
I read and they entertain and uplift me. They grant me insight and empathy toward other thoughtful mindsets.
Non-fiction does similar things. I read for specific applications to my life. How something general can apply to my situation and can it be made better? What can I do that may impact those around me in ways that benefit them? What can I learn and apply and improve?
I read to grow and to be inspired.
Why do you read?
