You ask me why I read fiction?

Well, reality is inevitable. You've got to live it no matter what. But when I pick up a random fictional book from the wooden bookshelves and plunge into its treasury world while fantasizing every single word in it, I can actually escape the mundane reality (which is practically impossible.) But I can! And at that moment, I feel like I have a surreal power. A power which pulls me into Hogwarts, The Shire and all other fictional worlds. A power which is kept alive only through reading. Reading fiction.
