Day 4: Rave about Anything

Raving about Reading for Pleasure.
Reading for pleasure is one of the things that has brought me the most constant joy in my life.  It has brought me joy and happiness, friendship and comfort.  The Giant is not a reader.  He has never known the joy it can bring.  While, it is hard for me to understand his perspective on this because I have loved reading from the moment I figured out how to do it.  He loves that I'm a reader and I'll tell him the stories that I've read.  We'll watch movies based off of books that I've read and I'll tell him all the things Hollywood left out. 

Reading was my solace as a child.  My Dad was in the Navy so we moved every couple years. My little brother and me had to find hobbies or activities that didn't involve other kids.  He fell in love with video games and I lost myself in the never-ending world of books.  There was always a new adventure to go on, a new love to find, a new evil to overcome, a new mystery to solve.  The world of books was my friends, my loves, my adventures.  I loved through them and learned how other people thought, how they lives, what they believed and how their world was the same as mine and how their world was different from mine.

So, I will recommend, just like I do to the Giant, that all people read and learn how amazing it can be.
