Yes, when you read about someone else's life it does make you feel like that you are part of the story.Miss_BeckyG wrote:I do enjoy reading books on people's experiences. Especially if the book is well written and you feel like you are part of the story. It makes you appreciate the lives of those people in relation to yours

That's an honest answerMsTri wrote:I'm with Spirit Wandering. Autobiographies and travel books just don't do it for me. With the former, either they're living a terrible life and I'm already living a hard life of my own, so I don't need or want to read about someone else's. But at the same time, I don't care to read about others having what I can only dream about, either.

I love your answerjenjayfromSA wrote:Definitely. How else would I ever experience the joys of a wildlife vet in Africa, an explorer in Antarctica, sailing around the world in a yacht, or an astronaut landing on the moon. Some people live the adventure, guess I'll only read about it, but at least I get a share.
