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 won't lie but it was not the passion for books at the start when I started reading,I started reading when I started buying books from scholastic book fairs at my school as a kid,my principal used to always talk about books,that also added up.

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

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

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

And that is how I fell in love with books.

These books helped me kill time,gain perspectives about things,and also were there letting me know that I was not the only one in many aspects.

• It helps you live through an experience.

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".

The scholastic book fairs used to have all sorta books and idk the brochures of them made me want to buy books as a kid.

Is it common for girlfriends to have close male friends who are single and not related to them?

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

But as I grew up,and started watching booktubers (I am talking about booktubers and not booktoks :) )

(But the cost of these books 😔)

Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?
