Reading for me is like being transported somewhere else and I become part of that reality. There have been times when I've put down a book , then found myself using the words or accent of people in the book. Sometmes, I'll be reading a book and I have imagined the characters so thoroughly that I am shocked when the author casually mentions (for example) the blonde hair that I've seen is brown.

I read a quote somewhere , perhaps on Amazon ) "Books are movies for the mind"
