Habit: Why Do I Read Books?

I like to learn something everyday and what else would be better than Reading. The following reasons drive me to read books:-

To know startup stories & experiences, e.g. building company, their struggles & challenges faced during process.
To know strategies for decision-making, work environment and etc.
To gain/improve Financial knowledge.
To learn from values (i.e., both cultural and personal)
To relate mythology to daily life routines.
To understand perception, behavior and thinking processes.
To get motivation and inspiration for hard times.
To share knowledge or stories with others.
To Improve vocabulary knowledge.

Here are some of my take ways from books that I read:-
