Why People Love to Read: 15 Reasons to Become a Book Fan

This year marks the 16th anniversary of our publishing house. To celebrate this wonderful milestone, we decided to do a little investigation into the question: Why do people love reading books so much? And here’s what we found:


1. Wisdom

Books have an answer for everything. Whatever life throws at you, there’s always a book that can offer guidance and help you figure out what to do.

2. New Knowledge

People who love reading often have a strong thirst for knowledge. They're curious about everything. Books are an endless and reliable source of new information.

3. Inspiration

Stories told by others can light a fire within us. Big dreams, bold goals, kind actions — books have the power to give you wings.

4. A Break from Problems

Reading is a great way to escape from the worries and stress that weigh us down. It helps you breathe, reflect, step away from the chaos — and maybe even find a solution.

5. Life-Changing Moments
“The book that changed my life” — that phrase stands apart for a reason. Every avid reader secretly hopes to stumble upon that one book that becomes a turning point, setting real change in motion.

6. Emotions and Impressions

Books immerse us in imaginary worlds that stir up real emotions — joy, nostalgia, anxiety, fear, hope. We grow attached to characters and walk parts of their journey with them, learning and feeling as we go.

7. A Different Sense of Time

Reading has this strange, magical ability to bend time. A short story of just a few pages can carry you through decades. Our brains turn words into vivid films that aren’t bound by the clock.

8. The Meaning of Life

Books open the door to the collective human mind. They help us understand the world, how things work, and why we’re here. Reading lets you see life through a different lens and explore the thoughts of millions of people across time and place.

9. A Window to Other Worlds

Books are gateways — to alternate realities, distant lands, or even other planets. You get to see life through different eyes, try on lives you’d never live otherwise — fly dragons, become a pirate, or walk on a distant world.

10. Energy

When you read, you soak up the energy of everyone involved — the author, the translators, the editors. All those people poured their soul into a tangible object that you can hold, flip through, and feel. You connect with their ideas, their creativity, their message.

11. History

Old pages carry history. Culture, traditions, values — all preserved in print. Through books, we can touch the past, understand what people thought, feared, or dreamed about in another century. Reading is a kind of time machine.

12. A Workout for the Brain

Great books are like mental exercises. They stretch the mind, break patterns, and help us think in new ways.

13. Real Values

The modern world pushes materialism. The more expensive, the better — or so we’re told. But reading brings us back to what truly matters: love, kindness, joy. A book might cost a fraction of a luxury car, but it can give you so much more.

14. Cure for Insomnia

Sometimes our minds are so overloaded that we can’t sleep, even when we’re exhausted. Worries swirl and won’t go away. But reading calms that inner chatter. It’s the perfect bedtime remedy — no side effects, just peace.

15. Joyful Travel Companion

Honestly, there’s no better travel buddy than a good book. It won’t complain if you wait for your flight in a café, take the bus instead of a cab, or wake up early just to catch the sunrise. A book fits in anywhere — on the road, during your commute, in a hotel, or back home. What more could you want?


Reading is like an intellectual addiction — but in the best way. The more you read, the more you crave. One day, you’ll catch yourself wandering around a bookstore like a zombie, hungry for brain food. Of course, all forms of art can stir this kind of passion — music, painting, theater, film. But only books, whether fiction or nonfiction, expand your mind in a way no other art form quite can.
