Why I don't like to read books

 This could come off somewhat ironic since here I am blogging, which contains reading words! lol

I was watching a commercial that said people who read, live multiple lives, while when you don't read, you live one. I disagree, people who watch tv shows, or play video games can also see themselves living those lives as well! I found that comment to be kind of ignorant.

People always tell you that reading is a good thing and while it can be a good thing, I just don't agree with how it's shoved down our throats and how you're perceived as an idiot if you don't like to read! People say, "It's important to read" and how some people get mad at you for not reading books. But I say, just let people live their lives! Reading a book is the same as watching TV, painting, or playing video games, it's a hobby that some people like and others don't! I don't understand why people get so mad if you don't read.

I am not a book reader, you could give me 1 million dollars if I read one book and I would decline. I just don't like books! 

Here are reasons why I am not a book reader.

• I have a short attention span and lose focus easily, It takes me forever to do tasks sometimes because my mind jumps from one thing to the next. I tend to just stop reading things on the internet if they don't grab my attention rather quickly.

• I'm a visual person, I need to see something to want to be interested in it. This is why I love video games and television!

• I also happen to have a very creative imagination and I have a knack for daydreaming rather easily, I don't need books because my mind is one! There are plenty of times where I had to go somewhere and wait for a long time (Example: The DMV). I'd stare at the wall or something because I would just start to daydream about something. (This is also why I have many story ideas I'd like to turn into comics as well)

• I like to read stuff online, I love reading Quora stories and I learn plenty of stuff from the internet.
