Do you tend to think your life is a part of the book you read?

What's with me? Thinking a vampire would bite me. Twilight fever is crawling within me. It was more intense last week when I saw the movie and read the book for only 2 days. Now, its subsiding. The fever I feel about the book and the character is somehow shifting into reality of life. Ok! Stupid enough to think some kind of Edward would show in my life. This is the first time I feel like my life is part of the book im reading. Besides I'm never fond of reading novels. Im now done with New moon and starting my fisrt half chapters of Eclipse. Eventhough I already know the ending in Breaking dawn, still the character and the details what is going to happen is still in my curious mind. Is this normal? I guess..... for me.

I often read to escape whatever is bothering me. I do tend to really get into what I'm reading and identify with the characters of the book. When I do this I can exclude the world around me. However when I stop reading or get through with the book I leave that world there and come back to the present. I can't say that I have ever brought the characters back with me. I don't have any trouble separating fact from fiction. Maybe you should try to read something besides scary books.

Well; it sometimes happen that we closely associate a novel or a story line with our own life and see it as a part of our life .

I'm a reader whose current addiction is paranormal romance novels. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, demons and other magical creatures are part of my daily reading fare. I love this genre because it is fantastic and is so vastly different from my so-regular life. However, never have I entertained the notion that such things would exist in my life. I might fantasize about creating my own stories, but I exorcise that by playing on roleplaying boards. But overall, I have a very clear concept of what is reality and what is fiction.
