"I read books both for fun and knowledge. There is nothing better than a good book (well, mayve family and friends). Books educate you in afun way. It connects generations. Also reading is something that can be done in your own time and you don;t need to 'waste' someone elses. You can't really play quidditch by yourself, but you can read. Reading also expands your vocabulary and improves yoyur grammer. In fact, I once wrote down some cool words I found in books and look up there definitions of some"
