Why Does Reading Matter?

Why do I think reading matters? Mainly because of the stories books can give you. Sure, movies have huge budgets, awesome special effects and great actors. But nothing can match the level of detail I find in books. The worlds are huge and immersive, the characters intriguing, and the plotline can be thrilling, or sad, or actionpacked, or terrifying. In my mind, nothing can ever beat books as a form of entertainment. They're accessible to everyone, and you can simply pick one up anywhere and read. They're also educational. I believe I can write and spell so well because I read so many books. They help with vocabulary, and the historical books contain fascinating facts about the world we live in. Books will never become old or stale in my mind.
