I believe we have the influence of our childhood to start reading and improve our reading ability. Many people are not involved in reading articles, books, and magazines in their adulthood. However, some of them are addicted to reading and have found many interesting things in reading instead of watching or listening. When it comes to my situation, I have a schoolmate named Devinu, and she is incredibly addicted to reading books, magazines, and newspapers. I don't know if she gets a piece of newspaper or a piece of paper; she gets involved in reading that. I always ask her why she reads these things because I have seen that she is more interested in reading novels, not only love stories but also novels based on crime, mystery, and fantasy. I have also asked her why she is interested in reading so many novels. Even on Facebook, she gets involved in some novel reading pages and engages day by day in reading those stories. She says that it gives her relaxation, calmness, and reduces stress. Reading allows her to be alone from others and provides an opportunity to escape the actual world situation. She says it brings her the happiest moments, being in a fantasy world and using her imagination. It is such a relaxing moment for her. That's why she is addicted to reading. For the most part, I also try to become addicted to reading to find my relaxation at the end of the day.
