    Why do you read?

    I read books to "go away" and the internet for curiousity satisfaction.....

    I read instructions in order to put something together, like a book shelf or a recipe.  I read for enjoyment, like a novel or non-fiction story, poetry.  I read for knowledge, such as a newspaper or magazine article.  I read to engage my imagination (as in Harry Potter). I read my textbooks in order to gain the knowledge I need to succeed in my classes.  I read to my grandchildren to stimulate their desire to read, and because I love to read aloud to children.  I read to share ideas with others who are also reading what I am reading - as in a book group or Bible study.  

    I read mindless stuff just to "go away". I read other stuff for information, knowledge and general entertainment.

    Mindless as in Nat'l Enquirer? ;-)

    Well, terry, the Bible is rather serious (not "fluff" for most of us who endeavor to read it), but I think I understand what you mean.
