That's a entirely different, but interesting topic...
When reading a book, I sometimes I crack a smile because something is particularly funny, or I like a certain passage for some reason and I raise an eyebrow and think about it a bit. That's about it with regard to "being enamored."
Compare this to my girlfriend giggling continuously, laughing out loud and even squealing when reading a book (and not occasionally; sometimes multiple times per chapter, or even per page), and I often think to myself: "You're overdoing it. It's just a young adult fantasy novel... sjees."
Maybe I'm just old and grumpy (already).
