not at all strangly, reading books is a way to completly and utterly forget everything around me. Because sometimes you really don't want to think about what is going on, or stuff you have to do. Stuff you should have done but didn't ..ect.

When I read that book, I am that other person and do not have my own mistakes and problems anymore for a while. I would have more problem stopping to read that the other way around!

The internet can never, ever replace books. As much as I love the internet, there's nothing quite like sitting down in a quiet corner (or in a bench outside) and getting lost in the author's projected world.

if you turn on the captions when he says the books name backwords, it says nazi arden. Conspiracy theory?!

The internet is not going to replace books because people don't read books to memorize all the facts in it; they read books for the enjoyment of learning the story, of seeing life through a different perspective. People read books to see how others think, and to know that they are not alone. While the internet can do this, it can not tell stories and express timeless emotions like books can; that is why, whether on a fresh new Kindle or on 70-year-old pages, books will live on.

Absolutely not harder to read books. If I go a week without reading a book or at least start or finish a book, it makes me incredibly sad.

Its not that hard to read a book these days when the book has the words "John Green" on them. Other then that yeah its a little tricky.

I find it harder to read books because I am too busy watching you talk about books.

I used to be (and hopefully still am) an avid reader. However, right now I'm reading a really long book that I am sometimes interested in and sometimes not. It is at times like these that I turn to the Internet to entertain me until I feel interested enough to continue.
