literally! Which books have you been so emotionally involved with whilst reading that you actually feel what is happening?
I haven't had this for years - I think the last time was A Prayer for Owen Meany back when I was in high school - but I felt it (somewhat to my shame) reading the first Twilight book . My heart was pounding, I was breathing faster than usual...
Anyway, I have just got round to reading the second book, and I am experiencing the same thing again. I am in agony over Edward having left, I am literally fighting back the tears - I've had to restrict my reading time so that I'm not getting unnecessarily upset at inconvenient times throughout the day.
Am I alone in this? I don't mean Twilight - I think that has just struck a chord in me, even though it's teenage vampire romance - but any book at all?
