Does reading bring out strong emotions in you?

[Susan Gibbs]

If a book is about a sad event or the character suffers, then I definitely shed a tear. I hate doing that because then i usually get a headache.

[Alexandur Gicov]

It depends on the book, the genre and the style of writing. Some stories manage to touch me, while in others I find it difficult to read.

[Tori_J]

Yeah, it does. Just like movies do too. I have cried, laughed out loud and gotten angry while reading books. Man, do I love reading

[Rosemary Owolabi]

Yes, reading a book makes me put the characters in my mind as I am reading and that makes it personal.

[Bridgette C 2]

Yes, it does especially when I understand what a character feels on what he/she has gone through.

[Jolaade Idowu]

Yes, It does. Connecting with characters and understanding their emotions is what makes a good book.

[Owuamanam Eberechukwu]

When I read books that I really connect to, I feel so strongly about the characters that I get to know. I have even cried reading books before. I think that we do make strong emotional connections to books, but I was wondering if other people feel the same way as me.

Good books can really make a lot of impact. I have cried for a book before, so yes it does. A good book should.

[Scott Fling]

Emotions and feelings are the common thread which all humanity can relate and understand regardless of their background. A book that does not stimulate your emotions is one that doesn't get finished.

[Ma Leonarda Castañares]

Yeah, it makes me cry my eyes out

[Favour Alade Boluwatife]

Yes some books do make me emotional because whenever I read books I put my all in it

[Maslina]

Absolutely. I become so immersed it's as though I'm physically transported. My emotions are fully invested in most books I read whether it's grief, anger, joy, jubilation, relief, sadness, happiness, shock...

[Prosper Chukwuemeka 1]

when I read informative books, I feel this strong emotion to succeed. and it makes me a better person than when I'm not reading at all.

[Paul Link]

Yes. The books that stay with me are the ones that make me feel the most. And not always good emotions - some of the most memorable are the most shocking and have changed the way I think about things.

[Mari Thompson]

I get really invested in the characters of a book if they have been developed well.
