“Reading means the world to me. It has taken me on a rollercoaster ride through time on the back of a dragon. It has taken me to a place where I can do what I want and have the experience of a lifetime. It has taken me over mountains and through forests full of magical creatures. Reading takes me to eternal bliss where I don't know where the current is going to take me.”
