I read to keep the bad thoughts out of my head for a little while.

Primarily because it is enjoyable, viz., it keeps 'bad thoughts' away, but secondarily because it is useful for learning the language of retards (anyone that reads or is involved with academia).

So you read academic stuff to keep the bad thoughts away? My brother in Christ I am the same way.

Both for fun and self improvement. My dyslexia makes it difficult but I like to push myself.

I read to one day be able to simply look at a page and absorb the knowledge. It's not easy, but I am making progress.

It is mostly childhood conditioning from everyone around me saying reading is good. I haven't read many great works so I can't say its to improve my life or whatever, to pass the time I guess

I wish that was me. I get a lot of anxiety while reading which makes it difficult.
