Stories can provide us with thrills, puzzles to solve, tears, joy, laughter, fear; taking us through a kaleidoscope of emotions and virtual experiences. Escape from reality. In short, reading can give us a safe high.
I used to get my adrenalin fix, my escape, from dancing and music, and that is my preferred drug. But reading does an effective job, transporting me to places I would never travel - past, present and future. And at the same time I am learning - about the world, people and myself. I can't think of any other equivalent form of escapism. If only it were the universal drug of choice.
