What sparked your interest in books and how did you develop a love for them? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an avid reader?

I started buying books, that I thought I would find relatable.I really have not felt closer to people and was always hesitant to speak about things to people upto certain age, and only then I realised what it truly meant when they said “There is no good friend than a book".

The scholastic book fairs used to have all sorta books and idk the brochures of them made me want to buy books as a kid.

To talk about the advantages of reading books

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

(But the cost of these books 😔)

These books helped me kill time,gain perspectives about things,and also were there letting me know that I was not the only one in many aspects.

• It helps you live through an experience.

It is day 42 of the Trump administration. Is the war in Ukraine over? Is inflation solved? Are groceries cheaper?

• You tend to have more understanding about certain aspects of people as you start reading different povs of different authors.

Now that's an interesting question,cause no one has asked me this.

And that is how I fell in love with books.

I think there can be no disadvantages of gaining experiences right??

I won't lie but it was not the passion for books at the start when I started reading,I started reading when I started buying books from scholastic book fairs at my school as a kid,my principal used to always talk about books,that also added up.

But as I grew up,and started watching booktubers (I am talking about booktubers and not booktoks :) )
