There is something magical about reading books, it brings you back to a time where your imagination can run riots and let you dream of the impossible along with the amazing and fun and exciting. I am glad that I love to read, and I am glad to pick up a book that challenges my thoughts and feelings, or nurtures that brain dead side of my mind that screams, no more stimulus please.  I feel much better when I tear myself away from tv and focus on the written word.
