Books are my ultimate escape. They take me to another place. I also like writing novels. I've written 4 books as part of a series. Its a fantasy horror novel about a young man killed in a car crash, and he meets a spiritual guide who send him back to earth to learn how to face his fears, and meets four others, and the work as a team traveling through time, taking on history's challenges.
Reading and writing calms me. When reading them, it calms my nerves and lessens my anxiety. I have panic attacks and it's the one thing that calms me. I love mystery novels, and horror, and fantasy also.
I'm living in poverty in a town full of drug addicts and drug dealers, so reading takes me other places!

I love reading books. They're a great way to spend time, if you don't have plans.
It relaxes me quite a bit.
But I sometimes have a problem, if a book is really good. I can't stop reading it when I immerse myself in it. Book lovers know what I'm talking about.
I like to read books for the cultural functions and calming benefits it gives so I will usually pick books with unique and technologically relevant settings like a rain forest, or a billionaires work cabin, or a psychiatric facility or a historical archeology site. Don't really like to read books from ancient times unless it's Japan or China and parabolic in style. I also like books that are calming, like a lullaby so I'm not into drama or violence in a book, I don't pay money to be in a bad mood.
Yes I do however now I have like 10 books which I need to finish oopsie

**I used to be An Avid Reader. I Also Love Writing Plays. I am on My Second One to be Published. xxoo
I do like reading, picked up Game of Thrones, the other day. It was in my daughters collection.
I often read before bed to take things down a notch.
They do relax me a lot, it was raining yesterday, I was sitting in front of my windows, looking out at the field and rain and read some Ancient Chinese Wisdom book, it was nice.
Love a good book, especially reading in bed with the lights down low. So relaxing 😌
Depends on the book!
If it's like "Quantam mechanics" or something.. then it's the opposite of relax
I LOVE reading books. They relax me and bring me comfort.
Yes I love to read and write stories. It definitely relaxes me.
I love reading books they massively relax me as I can easily picture what the characters look like the world and stuff like that. I just wish all books had more detail honestly. And that when they make them into films they didn't miss anything
Reading is my only favorite hobby and I get relaxed.
I grew up with books, instead of TV. Typical presents from my parents or grandparents were books. 👍

I do like to read and it is embarrassing how much I do not read anymore.
Love reading books. Best place is on a plane where my phone doesn't work to distract!
No, I'm a bit ADD so magazines are better for me, since they have shorter articles.
No. I don't have the patience or attention span for that. I did as a child, but not anymore. With the internet, it's no longer necessary.
I like to read before bedtime, it helps me unwind.
I keep reading the same book over and over so I can memorize it
Yes. Especially long reads, articles in longform like from Vanity Fair.
Yeah, but prefer manga/manwha/manhua, takes less effort to imagine
I liked reading... but lately it's been a while since I've gone near a book
