I live within a Bible Belt where the local library refuses to carry Atheist books...so I also find them useless !!
I would love to say it’s to gain knowledge and expand my mind but it’s pure escapism.

@Constantine Wow! All of that knowledge and still an officious twit.
I read because I like to stretch my mind and my thought processes. Sometimes I read just for fun because I don't watch TV. It's also a great way to become familiar with words I don't use and also often gives me examples of how I can write or express ideas better.

The "Mind" must be connected to the Outside world, a world where Thinking must be related Practices that are larger than your self!
@Constantine Agreed but I believe you start internally and then when you have explored you move to the external
I share my thoughts to relate the joy of discovery, the joy of enlightenment and the joy of learning. It is agift. You don't have to take it.
