I always imagined myself as susan because she's what I've always wanted to be.

Anne YES! I think that every kid with an imagination has wanted to live in a book. I know that I have, I'm always told I could play Susan, but my favorite character through the series is Edmund. I've always loved this series!

I love how you opened wardrobe's and searched for Fauns. I wanted my parents to make our wardrobe downstairs a walk through wardrobe into another room :D

Aaron Carson I definitely did when I was a child. There were certain books that made me so emotional I'd cry when they were over, whether they were sad or not. I seemed to be attracted to anything set in England. Grey Rabbit's May Day (Little Grey Rabbit, #28) by Alison Uttley The Crab With the Golden Claws by Hergé Five Go To Mystery Moor Enid Blyton's Famous Five Annual by Enid Blyton The Adventures of Rupert the Little Lost Bear by Mary Tourtel


message 118: by Liz (new)

Liz  Arcand When I re-read a book, it's like reliving a memory. I remember how old I was when I first read the book, the feelings I had, and reafirming my attachments or hatred for characters.
It's like I relive the entirty of the book, not just the placing of myself in the book but also where I was in my life while I was reading the book!
I beleive that's how I got through middle school...by imagining myself in Betty Ren Wright books!

Betsy I'm not sure I ever wanted to live in a book, but I did want to be friends and talk to the various characters.


message 123: by Lesley (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lesley Arrowsmith I spent hours sitting in my mum's wardrobe as a child! Sometimes I was trying to get to Narnia, and other times I was looking for evidence that she was a witch, like Kay in The Midnight Folk!
More recently, I'd like to like in Starhawk's San Francisco from The Fifth Sacred Element - near future, Green, multi-cultural.

Isaac I think im 2 obsessed with artemis fowl: i cant stop thinking about the series!:)


message 125: by Taylor (new) - rated it 1 star

Taylor Young I read to escape from everything. When people ask "Why do you read so much?" and I just say "Why wouldn't you?!"
Books open a portal to another world. You can read all about and fall in love with it, but you don't have to live the drama and the pain that goes with all of that. When I finish a book, a sometimes want to cry because i feel like I;ve just left a whole part of me inside of the book, and now that it's out I don't know what to do with it. So I get another book and attach myself to it until the unbearable moment when i have to stop and get another book. And the cycle continues. I think that without books, my life would slowly and painfully fall apart. Books ARE my life, and I couldn't imagine a world without them.

Alex Grant I LOVE reading books I'm a huge bookworm!Sometimes my friends ask me why I love reading so much.Then I say"When I read books,I go off on adventures.I get lost in it's pages."Sometimes my friends even ask me what are the meanings of words they don't understand.Sometimes I feel like a walking dictionary!But I'm always glad to help my friends.:)


LindaJ^ Will wrote: "I live in a book every time I open its pages."

Have to agree with you, even if it's not so nice a world in some books and not one I'd want to stay in! I could stay for a while in the world of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or at Hogwarts. Some books capture the world I have lived in.


Heather Whenever it snows at night I always think of Narnia. It reminds me of the description of the lamp post in the middle of no where with snow falling all around it. It's the peaceful image that I like to keep in my memory bank for those stressful days. The power of words is rather remarkable. How they can take you into this whole other dimension of life and have you let go of what's around you- that's what I like most about reading.

message 134: by Betsy (new) - rated it 5 stars

Betsy Hmm,most of the books you mention here have a fantasy element,and I guess I get into more realistic fiction. I'd love to meet and talk to some of the characters. But now that you mention it, the Pern novels by Anne McCaffery reached my imagination. Oh, to impress a dragon...

Jay Scott Jubal, by Louis Lamour but i'm sure that once i was living there i would want to come back to air conditioning and microwaves and stuff.

message 138: by Miriam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Miriam Reality always seems depressing to me and one of the worst facts of life, so whenever I read an extremely good book, I just imagine myself in that setting and place with all the characters I love surrounding me. And then I play an epic soundtrack on my iPod that suits what I'm daydreaming of. :D


message 139: by Megan (new) - rated it 4 stars

Megan Yes! I would love to live in one of Molly Harper's books


Emily Ann It would be so cool at first thought but....a lot of my favorite books have horrible monsters and you know stuff like that. but it would be awesome!

Emily Fuller The Goose girl- the main character is me! Looks and personality- I really wished i lived in that book!!! (The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale- The Bayern Books)


message 145: by Debbie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Debbie I've had the experience, too, with the fantasy books. But I also love the classics, and I remember while I was reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, I wanted badly to go into the book to encourage the woman who wanted to be independent. She was stuck in a time when most women could not fight to be themselves without a man. At the end of the book, I cried, because it seemed like, if only I could get into the world of the book, I could have prevented the tragedy. (p.s. The book is very much better than the movie)


message 146: by [deleted user] (new)

Harry Potter. So badly. So, so badly.


message 147: by [deleted user] (new)

No, i wouldn't want to live in a book. I don't want to know what is going to happen to me, I want to enjoy my life without being oppressed by the weight of destiny.


message 148: by Beth (new) - rated it 5 stars

Beth Oh my goodness, yes. It is a rare book that I don't live in. I've even managed it with a few nonfiction books.

But all together I've spent many lifetimes in the magic realms of books and my summer vacations on the starship Enterprise, (the original NCC 1700 no letter mostly).


message 149: by [deleted user] (new)

I live almost in every book I read, but for some weird reason I badly want to live in The Gone series and PJ series and the mortal instruments series

Edward ott the Harry Potter series, Dresden Files and the Vorkosigan saga.
