Anyone else reads to breathe?

Reading has always been my way of breathing a little deeper into life. If stories move you, stay with you, maybe even change you—then we’re already speaking the same language. Let’s connect, reader to reader.
And while you’re here… would you share the book that touched your soul? I’ll start: To Kill a Mockingbird.

yeah exactly feeling the same, i hope i'm not alone but majority of the time when i read, my mind and my soul are so far away from the real world that coming back to the reality HURTS so bad.

Mine was joyland ( stephen king ) i wanted to be afraid ( bc i love horror book ), finally i just cried for 2 days.

You said it so beautifully… Yes, it’s exactly that kind of feeling. Sometimes a book takes us to a place so far away that coming back feels like breaking a fragile piece of glass — it hurts. I haven’t read Joyland yet, but after your comment, it’s definitely on my list. If it made you cry, then it clearly did more than scare — it touched something deeper.
Books are sometimes our quietest, yet most profound companions. Thank you for sharing that. 💙
