50 Reasons Reading Is Wonderful

People keep asking me for reasons why I Like reading. I tell them the usual reason- "Because I LOVE TO READ. Because I CAN." and something along these lines. Sometimes the dreamier response, "Because books give me solace. A world much better than the one I live in". Not very convincing, eh? Even though I love books, I can not explain why!
I decided to Google it to maybe find some Funny or somewhat legitimate reasons for loving books. Tumblr has some given number of reasons, and so do some wonderful pages on Facebook, but I wasn't convinced enough. So I decided to write my own set of reasons for reading and loving books.

REASONS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE READING:

1. Because there is a book written just for you.
2. Because reading makes your brain more developed and thinking more conventional
3. Because no matter what you read, it will teach you something or the other. Yes I mean it. Even *cough* Twilight *cough* and *cough* Fifty Shades *cough*
4. Because reading can make you cry or laugh and its a wonderful feeling.
5. Because you can visualize things and edit, choreograph them in your mind and you'll find it better than any other version.
6. Because books have that sweet, wonderful smell that should be bottled up and sold.
7. Because the book explained so much that wasn't even discussed in the movie. Yes. There is someone called Peeves in Harry Potter.
8. Because most books come out before the movie does.
9. Because then you can irritate your friends about how much better the book was.
10. Because you can yell during the movie: "THIS SCENE IS TOTALLY WRONG!" "THE KISS HAS BEEN CUT OUT" "Book Ginny was much better"
11. Because you can fall in love with a wonderful fictional character.
12. Because at one point people will understand your book love.
13. Because you can totally ignore people while reading and they'll think that either the book is too wonderful or you're too attentive.
14. Because you can dramatically glare at people from over your book and they'll have to shut up.
15. Because you'll find wonderful words that will improve your vocabulary and make you sound intelligent.
16. Because you can throw books at people when they annoy you if you have one at hand.
17. Because books will always wait for you to open them. Books don't get angry if you ignore them for months. They'll still be waiting.
18. Because books can help you make new friends. Both real and imaginary.
19. Because books will never betray you.
20. Because books will give you solutions or ideas to fight real world problems.
21. Because books will always be there when you ask for them.
22. Because people who read are automatically called intelligent. OK they might say you waste time but when you speak on what you know they'll shut up.
23. Because you can abuse people, referring  your books and they won't get it. "IF A DEMENTOR ATTACKED YOU, HE'D STARVE! YOU MUGGLE!"
24. Because you will find a wonderful land far far away where people would have understood your feelings, where intelligent life existed.
25. Because you'll get good grades on your English papers. Maybe others too.
26. Because some cute nerd guy or a total opposite will fall for your brains. *add to wishlist*
27. Because if you tell your parents that you're staying up to read, they'll most probably let you.
28. Because in a bus, bank, office, journey or an island etcetera, a book is great company.
29. Because they never run out of batteries or go out of signal.
30. Because reading makes writing better. And writing nurtures emotions.
31. Because you'll get allowed to jump up and down hearing about authors. 
32. Because you'll know more than anyone else.
33. Because you parents won't yell at you when you're busy reading. *terms and conditions applied. HEY! They did ask you to run an errand. And exams are somewhat important.
34. Because they sometimes make you realise that you have a better life than many people.
35. Because no one died of reading books.
36. Because you'll probably be able to make better Facebook statuses and tweets. Worked for me. (Refer point 30)
37. Because there are so many (yyyyyyyyyyy) books to be read.
38. Because your future kids deserve better, more intelligent parents. Not people who can't get enough photos in bathrooms.
39. Because you will be well versed in many other walks of life.
40. Because you'll be able to think clearer. Not just what is fed to you.
41. Because whatever job you do, reading will help. Yeah I am somewhat hinting at "How to impress Your Boss"
42. Because they tell you more about life than anyone else can. I learned about sex from books for that matter. Not advisable.
43. Because your imagination has a better resolution than technology has come up with.
44. Because the tale of the Half Blood Prince needs to be heard in a better way!!!!
45. Because your battery just died and there is no electricity and its raining!
46. Because libraries keep beckoning you....say holla-ing at you.
47. Because Books were written to be read!
48. Because you were taught to read. DUH!
49. Because life is all about reading. Whether you read books, emotions, faces, expressions, mathematical plots, statistical graphs, fashion sense....you are meant to read!
50. Because you already read gossip columns, movie reviews, sports articles, fashion statements...why not try a book? Who knows you might make a best friend just like that.

I am not suggesting that you're unintelligent if you don't read. Or that you can be Sheldon Cooper by reading itself. Everyone is meant to have a certain hobby which may not be reading. This is a suggestive post to the hobby of reading. But if you love reading and would read than do anything else, then I hope these reasons are some of the many reasons you love to read. And if you don't like reading, I guess you have your own reasons.

If you have some more reasons to love reading, please share them with me. because I'd love to read.
