Reading,
It is an escape, a refuge.
Reading,
It is a portal to another world.
Reading,
It weaves magical webs.
Reading.
It leaves you tangled in fantastic stories.
Reading,
It leaves you the hero or the heroine.
Reading,
It tells you wonderful things.
Reading,
Is anything better than real life?
Reading,
It leads through fantastic journeys.
Reading,
Is any one of those journeys better that the one every person follows?
Reading,
It tells you of magic and joy.
Reading,
Is any magic better than the magic of imagination?
