Reality's Not Enough

“You live in a false reality” “That’s not going to make you any smarter” “I don’t get what you like about it” “You’re doing that because you like to?” “That’s so boring” “You actually enjoy that” Spending my life wrapped up Wrapped up in nothing less than an amazingly unrealistic world I’ve spend my life wrapped up in the pages of book There's something tranquilizing about reading Something so indescribable about getting to paint that sensational picture in your head When I try to explain reading to someone I say “it's just like watching a movie, but so much better” There is something so rewarding about finishing a book Feeling accomplished, and so proud With each book a different story With each book your getting to live a completely different life And that's what I love most about reading I’d much rather live between the pages of books Then live in realty With each turn of a page something new just around the corner I would pick a book over people anyday Only because books don't have to understand you to like you You only have to understand and like the book to read it And there just something about reading I can't quite explain
