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 physical books, so I get the fun of hunting for books through the used bookstore, having them on my bookshelf, then I get to shame myself for my growing backlog of books. Once that’s done, I find reading to be very relaxing.
