What sparked your interest in books and how did you develop a love for them? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an avid reader?

I started buying books, that I thought I would find relatable.I really have not felt closer to people and was always hesitant to speak about things to people upto certain age, and only then I realised what it truly meant when they said “There is no good friend than a book".

Now that's an interesting question,cause no one has asked me this.

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.

I think there can be no disadvantages of gaining experiences right??

• You tend to have more understanding about certain aspects of people as you start reading different povs of different authors.

And that is how I fell in love with books.
