I read because it just makes me feel better. I enjoy reading books written about people (fictional or not) who are in completely different situations than what I'm in because it makes me be able to better understand other people and their circumstances sometimes. Like if I read a book about someone who's starving, I can better understand what it's like to be that way and if I know anyone who is like that I can give sympathy and help because I know (sort of) what it's like. I also read because it makes me happy, like I'm in another world. When I read a book like The Hunger Games, it really takes me to another place in the future where things are totally different which makes things interesting, suspenseful and just altogether really fun. I enjoy books like that (dystopia) because they are actually slightly possible to occur within our real world, which gives me that sense of excitement like, "What if this actually happens?!" And it for sure makes me want to keep reading. I am excited to read Room by Emma Donoghue because it seems like a book that will keep me on the edge of my seat, asking myself repeatedly if the boy and his loving mother will ever make it out of room alive. It's related to that sympathy factor I explained earlier, like if someone experienced a situation as described in Room I would be able to better understand where they were coming from than I would have before I read the book.
