There are lots of reasons to read, so I'm wondering what y'all get out of reading? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

For me, I have very little in my life, so it's something of an escape into another world.

I like the physiological side effects of reading books and long form articles like being able to hold focus longer and easier, slowing down to consider things instead of jumping to reaction, exercise my imagination, etc. Also maintaining a habit of reading before bed to reduce screen time before and keep a somewhat consistent bed time. And lastly reading text books, fiction, comic books, etc a mix to get a mix of entertainment and education.
