Reading alot of times is more entertaining than watching TV or movies. First of all books give much more information that movies or TV Shows made after books. They go into much more discription. Also Movies made after books dont always explain everything about a certain scene or chain of events. So read a little more and watch a little less TV

When looking for information, I almost always look in a book before going online. You can’t always trust online sites and you can never know if somebody just made up the information on the website. Books on the other hand go through a lot before publishing and are most likely checked to make sure the information is accurate before publishing. So remember, if your looking for information, go to a library before going online.

First of all,the TV doesn’t always tell the truth.Books,however,have to go through a lot of people before they are published;so they’re more likely to give you accurate information.Also,books take you to a completely different world,and out of your own problems.When there is not a friend to talk too,you can usually get advice from characters in a book…or they can just make you laugh!If you don’t know what book to read, ask a friend,get the book,and READ it!!!

Reading can expand you imagination and help you learn. There are books for languages, instruments, and for fun! Reading can take you anywhere, on stage with your favorite band, flying on a dragon, or even on the other side of the world! Reading is a time for you to be with yourself and block out the rest of the world. You can be anywhere, anytime when you read! It is not a waste of time at all; in fact, I think reading is worth more time than people take it for!
So pick up a book and read it, go anywhere the book leads you, and let your imagination flow!

This blog in my opinion is kind of right and kind of wrong. It’s right in the way that these days no one does have anytime to read. With all the technology we have, some people think we don’t need to read. It’s wrong because it is important to read, because reading makes you smarter. Besides, who doesn’t want to read? reading a book is like an adventure! Every page you turn is a new mountain to climb, or cave to explore. So I say yes! Get out there and find yourself some time to read!!!

In my complete belief, reading is a very easy way to cope with stress. It is also an easy way to learn. I also know a lot of kids who bury themselves in books. They become very intelligent. Also, if you barly have anything to do at home, you came always grab a book and read for the afternoon.

I agree with the publisher of this blog. Who does have the time to read? What with messaging at the “speed of light”, books are becoming horribly out of date. Actual paper turn-the-page books are soon becoming the vintage experience for youths of the coming age, because many books and novels are being published online in scans. Many books containing information of a scientific or mathematic nature are out of date the moment they are published because of the new discoveries being made every hour. Also, as Mrs. Huba has said, we can find those stories with which we can plunge our imagination into being broadcasted on television. Although, it does take a certain element of imagination away from you, because the characters are already portrayed to you, and you have no freedom to create your own image of them. I believe that technology and the internet are soon going to outpace actual paper books, replacing them with ones of a cybernetic nature.

Reading is amazing. I mean its like a time capsule the first time you read a book it holds everything inside like a chest and you don’t remember any of the book until the second time you seem to be back where you were at first and the book seems new so I say “books are your paradise, the true you” so always have a book near as a friend as freedom from reality

I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to read! You get away from the real world and it becomes your imagination. When you read you lose stress and you gain knowledge. When I read, personally, I get completely in my book, especially if it is a series. I completely zone out everything except my book and i’m in my own world. That is why you should read.
