I read for three reasons: To learn something; to share in an intellectual or emotional experience; and just to escape. Any of these things can be enough reason to read. However, it's the things you don't set out to do... for instance, to find a description for a place you've never been to, that you might now want to visit for yourself... or to learn new words and phrases, or discover the histories behind words and phrases... or to be presented with points of view that you have never imagined before... these are the real gems you get from reading, and often the most lasting memories you can get from a book.
