It's not easy to read a book. A lot of times, people don't understand how the reader can become so attached to words on a paper, I mean, it's not like they're real people (at least in fictional books). This is something a lot of people say for books and even show or movie characters, "why are you so upset, they're not even real. Why are you so happy, they're just words."And it's hard to explain how these "words" can mean so much to them, but it's like what they said in the video: for a moment you become a part of something bigger than yourself, you join an uprising, you save the world, solve a murder. A book lets you do that. A book is a journey.
If you aren't a reader or have a good imagination, then the words of a book are just words. But if you try, just try, to see them as more than just words - to build the world in your mind and put a face to the characters, those words become so much more.
An accurate depiction of what it's like to read and finish a book (

Reading has become a dying art. I am so glad there are still some people out there getting excited about reading a good old fashion book.
