I enjoy reading books when I have free time. I always keep a book in my bag. Whenever I have to wait for a doctor appointment or a meeting, I pull out my book and I am immediately engulfed in a world that is all my own. The words and plots are written by someone else, but I create the world, the characters, the settings in my imagination. I feel as though I am the character in the book that I am reading. I get so engrossed in the book that I begin to feel the emotions of the character that I am reading about. Reading teaches you to exercise your imagination. It requires a lot more work than simply watching everything play out in front of you on television. Reading is fun and it allows me to escape from the stresses of day to day life, if only for five minutes, while waiting on the doctor to call me back.
