Reading is my favorite because no two people ever read a story in the exact, same way. The way my brain interprets something might be very different from the way you read something. We’ve all got a different movie playing in our head. This is why I like discussing books after I’ve read them because I like to hear what nuggets other people got that I may have missed. This is ...
