Anyone else have that happen to them ... or is it just me?

Children do that all the time - whenever we finish a story or watch a film, my son wants to play whatever it was - "I'll be Indiana Jones" or whatever. As we get older the influence that books have on us changes, but I certainly recognise the feeling you're describing. I think that most of what I read is pretty safe, but my wife likes reading thrillers about psycho killers ...
