I've always loved reading but for the past 10/15+ years I just mostly... Haven't read.
I gave Dad a novel a couple of months ago and after he read it he brought it back to me so I could read it.
I read it about a month ago and that kick started me reading again. I've read 10 novels in the last two weeks.
Talking to Dad today, he told me that the book I had given him made him rediscover his love of reading, and in the last two weeks he's also read a dozen novels.

It feels so so good to get back into reading again. I forgot how enjoyable it is to imagine and explore new worlds being created in my head as I read words on a page. To connect with characters that I'll never see or actually meet, but feel like I've been a part of their lives and them of mine. To laugh and cry and feel anger and despair and hope and love and all other emotions with them.
