Penny I feel like I am sitting in the corner watching everything that goes on, I can just lose myself in the story.


Nikola_TimeLordy_Potterhead I get swept into another world and I escape my boring reality. Reading is my comfort during my times of stress, it's the best thing for me :)
I take a book EVERYWHERE and I pretty much worship them.
Yep... That's what I do.


Annie I feel free...and I flow with the emotions of the characters like there my family....


Clive Hendelson I feel like I'm never alone.

Karen when i read a book, specifically this book, i feel trapped. like i cant stop reading because i want to know what happens next. i want to know if they survive, what happens with the relationships of the characters, and more. i don't want the series to ever stop but unfortunately it has to come to an end. its like a dream that i don't want to wake up from.


NightFury i feel like adventoureous into a world that"s soo much interesting and adventoureous than my own world !!!


Gracie Delira when i saw The Hunger Games, it became my favorite movie that i just kept watching it over and over. Then i decided to read Catching Fire. This novel was a really great book because it had a lot of visualization and i was really able to understand what was happening and imagine it. When i read the novel it kinda transformed my imagination of the book into what the movie would be like in my head. I was really able to connect with what the characters were feeling. In some events i got emotional, happy , excited, sad etc. Therefore i thought it was a great book and is going to be a great movie.


Jennifer i forget that the real world exists.

Wynmar Kevyn Enchanting. Like I have my own world and specially when a character speaks his thoughts I'm like in another person. I had no interest in Hunger Games until I dreamed that I was in Cornucopia and I felt the adrenaline in rushing the stuff I need but after I gathered the dream ended and I suddenly felt like I need to read Catching Fire. I'm enjoying it! lastly, I felt alive too, I'm stimulating my brain ever than before and now I believe I'm a bookworm


Annisa UuU I always feel tense and somewhat goosebumps every reading. Each tension and always deliver her words to the feelings of unexpected pain and journey.

Anupama Sikchi I go to a world where the book is... I am there.. I find it really soothing and detached from my real life, its troubles and complications


sonya marie madden It helps me stop worrying for an hour a day


Nikki Reading to me is almost like watching a movie but more intense. You immerse yourself in the characters and their thoughts. You feel as if you are the one in the story and in your head you are making decisions and opinions throughout the entire book. Nothing beats reading a new book. You get to embrace the surroundings the author portrays in the book.


Caroline I visualise everything that happens. It's one of the things I love about good storytelling - it sparks your imagination and makes the pages come alive.

I tune everything out and I get so absorbed into it. The only way to snap me out of it is by any pain. Like if I get a crick in my neck or if someone smacks me upside the head

I'm not lying, I was reading a Book one time and I was totally right there in the Book, that whoever was saying somethin..."


True. I was really into the Warriors series and Percy Jackson series.
I would scream and encourage people/ cats.


message 67: by [deleted user] (new)

When I read a book, I can start to cry, scream, gasp, clap, and jump up and down.
In the Shatter Me series, I like totally cried and gasped. In the Hunger Games series, I cried, gasped, screamed, basically did everything in the list above. In the PJoO series and the HoO series, I totally freaked. Every stupid chapter.
XD

Fiona When I read a good book, I feel so motivated and cheerful. The adventures lead me to a new world, where it feels like im drifted into a dream which I've never felt before. Books are my inspiration and my lover. They let me gain knowledge and they let my brain grow. I don't think I can ever live without books.

Juli I feel like I have nothing to worry about. (I only worry about the stupid things that the characters do)


message 72: by Luffy Sempai (new) - added it

Luffy Sempai When I read a good book, never-had-before memories are manufactured. Also many times my mind interprets the stories that outdoes (if any) the film adaptations. My mind grabs a face from an avatar, a movie, a comic book, an ad, a childhood inclination and pastes it onto a character. I get to sink onto the floor of my mind and drink in the words. Good books make time irrelevant, and boredom is hunted to extinction.


Shameless I disapear into a new world. I tune out of reality and let myself feel. I gravitate to a certain character and couple and empathise deeply. I absorb their words and emotions and finally feel myself breathing.

Sometimes I think it is an addiction. I get desensitised to emotions and reactions and so each book has to better then the next or I am left disappointed and disatisfied. And when I finish an exceptional book, I am left feeling empty, breathless, unwanting to let the story end, to return to reality. My fingers simulatneously twicthing for the next book but not wanting to move on, disparing that any other book would fall short yet needing more.

To summarise, I feel a plethora of emotions when I read a book and hunger for them long after.

Norah I love reading because it has the power to take you on an adventure you would never experience in your own life, and I think that is incredible.


Biblioiz My love for reading started around 3rd grade, during a time when I didn't have any friends. So for me at the time, reading a book felt like an escape from the worries of life. It's funny how I was at the time cause I am very different now; super social and have plenty of friends. But my best friend, besides my dogs, will always be books.

I have learned so much and felt so many emotions from the books I read. So all I can say is that for me reading a book is equivalent to unique life experiences that produce ideas and lessons I'll carry even after it ends.
