About This Quote
In a world that is increasingly crowded and hectic, reading a book can be a nice escape from reality. Reading a book might be a way to have deep conversations with someone, but also for you to give your imagination a break. It is a way for you to relax and take a step back from the day-to-day. You can also use books as a tool to learn something new or as an inspiration for your writing. My greatest love is reading.
