I am an avid reader. Despite the fact that I enjoy watching movies and crafting, reading books is my favorite pastime. There are numerous reasons why I enjoy reading. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. That is, books revitalize me. After finishing a book, I feel like a whole different person, and my perspective on life shifts. Reading a book sharpens my thoughts. It is a well-known fact that reading strengthens our brain muscles. They help us think more clearly and make better decisions. I find it amusing that everytime I utter a clever quote from a book, everyone around me seems taken aback. Reading is an arduous task for most people, but it's like a calling to me. It just feels natural to me. I've made it a habit to read at least one chapter before going to bed. I sometimes read late into the night, especially on weekends, and I only stop when my brain becomes too tired to continue. My introversion contributes to my reading culture even more. The majority of my time is spent reading. This is how I regained my vigor. For some of us, the whole socialization can be too much. Whenever I feel like the outside world has sapped my energy, I just spend a few hours reading to revive my spirits.
