While reading books , I cry and laugh and people think me crazy. First time I read 'A Walk to Remember' , I cried so much my friends thought that someone in my family died and when i explained why I cried they asked" can you cry when u read a book?".
I replied that ," Don't you cry when u see a emotional movie? its like that for me when i read an emotional book. i see it like a movie".
I have found that those who have imagination loves book more than movies of the same book.

I like what you said about "those who have imagination loves book more than movies of the same book". I definitely end up enjoying the book more than the movie. There is so much more substance in books and I don't feel rushed. When seeing a movie based on a book, I sometimes do feel that the plot is rushed.Ammu24 wrote:I love reading so much.

I do the exact same thing! I was reading the most recent Song of Fire book, A Dance with Dragons a while ago and this happened to me! I read the last line of the book, put it down, and just stared at the wall with my mouth just hanging open! This wouldn't have been a big deal if I wasn't hanging out in the student center of my college. I got some pretty strange looks. But you can't blame me! OH THE PLOT TWISTS! So much emotion...Ammu24 wrote:I love reading so much.

To escape from school drama. Loads of school drama. Honestly, school sucks. Not because of the studies, but because of the school drama. I hate politics

I also love reading because books are transporters and time machines, as many have said, and I agree.
I also love reading because of the smell of the books, as well as the ink that can transfer onto my fingers as proof of a good read, but, as with in digital books, I simply find I love reading because of the way some people put words together, transcending words into beauty.
Hope this finds you well.
