Sometimes, I get so into a book that I find myself thinking in the style of the book (grammar, syntax, etc) for a little bit as I slowly exit the world the author built. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's as if the author's words and the story have altered my mental patterns for just a little bit...
Anyone else have that happen to them ... or is it just me?

OMG, I do that all the time! I have to laugh at myself because I use phrases in my conversations that have come straight from the book I was reading. When I was reading "Jewel in the Crown" all those years ago I developed a fondness for bacon sandwiches. (Don't ask -- there was a scene on a train or something where someone was eating cold bacon sandwiches.) After I read "Shogun" I ate with chopsticks for weeks.
Wait a minute, I'm seeing a pattern here. What I read directly influences what I EAT! :-)
