What do I think the world would look like if literature didn’t exist? What would I do if libraries and book stores didn’t exist? What would I do if reading wasn’t part of my every day life?

I honestly don’t know what I’d do. I mean, I have other hobbies besides reading but they don’t take up as much of my time as reading does. Reading is something I’ve enjoyed my whole life. Even before I learned to read in school, I enjoyed listening to others read to me.

Books are something you can take with you, whether you are waiting in line somewhere or going away on vacation. If I’m traveling on vacation, I’ll take my Kindle Fire with me. That way I’ll have plenty of books to choose from if I find myself with any down time on my vacation and it doesn’t take up a lot of space in my carry on bag.

Without reading, I also wouldn’t be sure how to approach someone if I wanted to talk to them. If I see someone with a book in their hands or if they are wearing a t-shirt with a favorite character on it, it’s a lot easier for me to pick that person out of a crowd and start up a conversation with them.
