I understand most of this. I have been known to throw a book across the room when one of my favorite characters has been killed in the past and scream in my head at the author.

I think that's a sign of a good book, someone who actually makes you CARE about the characters, as opposed to just using them to pass a couple of hours or the duration of a particularly long dump.

Or is that just me?

Spawny

you are right. i put all of my emotions into what i'm reading. if the book is good i find myself emotionally exausted. good description.

Wow, this made me both smile and think. I've never really considered the question before, of what it is that I feel when I read. I guess I just feel myself become one with the book, and you're description of making love probably reflects my own experience!

...I want to say you are wrong, but you are so right. Listen, I know we just had fun, and sure, you can smoke in my bed if you want, but I won't be calling you tomorrow or another day...

In short, Great.

I think you put into words what all readers expierence with a good book. I thought the idea of comparing it to making love was an intresting metaphor. Nice work.

I liked your point of view and some of the similes you used "reading is like making love with a book". It expresses your style of writing real well and again your opinions were nice. I look forward to reading some of your poems.
