"Reading to the mind, is exercise to the body" (Joseph Addison)
What this quote is saying is that, like exercising makes the body healthy and strong, reading makes the mind healthy and strong. I chose this quote because i thought it was a very clever way of showing some of the benefits of reading. I love to read. When i read, i'm plunged into a whole new world of interesting people and fantastic places. I get to imagine a place where anything can happen. The author takes me through misery, pain, glee and mystery! When i read, it's as if the main characters problems are my problems, where their emotions are my emotions. I love to read because i get to see so many fascinating places, and meet so many interesting people... without moving an inch!

Yes Armaan reading does all that and more.You have expained your connection with reading very eloquently. Books can bring the world to you. Don't forget to challenge yourself sometimes and read something 'different'.(remember to use capital'I' as the pronoun)
