I loved books. Loved reading. It not only gave me an escape from my own world, but opened a door into other worlds. It allowed me, at the beginning of my marriage, to suffer with some grace. As long as I had another world to go to, what did I care about how small and strange and terrifying my own life had gotten? Molly OKeefe
About This Quote

For all of us, reading is something that can take us away from our daily routine. We can immerse ourselves in another world where the characters are real people with problems and emotions. It allows us to escape our own problems and enjoy a different life for a short period of time. Books help us understand the lives of others and how they feel or what they are going through.

They also help us plan for our futures by providing ideas that we might not think of. Reading is an important part of life, without which we would not know how to solve our problems or how to cope with them.
