I just stumbled on this thread and thought that I’d add my experience.
When I read, I become fully immersed in what is happening in the story. I see the environment, the characters, everything. As a matter of fact, if someone interrupts me, it can take a few seconds for me to re-orient to the real world. That’s how deeply I get into reading. It’s like my very own experience that completely envelops me and takes me away from whatever my current situation is.
That’s why I love to read so much. It is such a rich experience that I can actually experience what the writer is laying out for me. Plus, there is always something to learn, even in fiction. You can learn a lot about other people’s viewpoints and experiences as well as human nature.
