They usually make a series. Reading takes you to another place. You get to fantasize about what it's like for someone else. Almost like escaping your own life for someone elses. I love to read, any author, Chrisbailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211119853890993337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-35955627849516580882012-07-04T12:10:47.492-07:002012-07-04T12:10:47.492-07:00I'm drawn to characters that I can connect wit...I'm drawn to characters that I can connect with. I may not have experienced what they have but I know where they are coming from and are going. I like seeing a character grow and for them to have traits that fit with their personality and situation. Also there are some characters who are just memorable and I want to live their life for a bit.<br /><br />Cambonified(at)yahoo(dot)comNahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720440727711737600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-90836731095357129452012-07-04T10:46:37.303-07:002012-07-04T10:46:37.303-07:00different things attract me to books, I love cover...different things attract me to books, I love covers, the characters or just something to catch my eyeDinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363922982973526678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-51902467290712019772012-07-03T23:12:50.581-07:002012-07-03T23:12:50.581-07:00I read for many reasons.

Sometimes I want characters I can identify with, other times I want to see how a character completely unlike me might deal with situations. It is great fun for me to open a book and see where an author will take me.<br /><br />little lamb lst at yahoo dot comLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680968217522258788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-84350407476130729162012-07-03T19:18:12.552-07:002012-07-03T19:18:12.552-07:00I enjoyed the post, it's something to think ab...I enjoyed the post, it's something to think about. I'd say what draws me to certain books and characters is definitely the chance to live vicariously through someone else's life. I can identify with a character's tenacity and will to succeed and I feel a connection to them, but books are a way for me to escape my every day life and have fun, at least in my head. :DBarbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-46171005934624419102012-07-03T17:58:44.992-07:002012-07-03T17:58:44.992-07:00For me it's all of the above that you mentione...For me it's all of the above that you mentioned:) It's the easy escape, it's the relatability of the characters, and the living vicariously through someone else that are the biggest draws for me. This is why I keep coming back to certain series.<br /><br />yadkny@hotmail.com*yadkny*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11009997492532854307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-42934257305272061972012-07-03T16:46:27.181-07:002012-07-03T16:46:27.181-07:00Thanks for a great post and congrats on the newest...Thanks for a great post and congrats on the newest release! I'm like you, I read for an escape from reality and I want something fantastic and completely against the norm. I love books and movies that flip reality on it's head or introduce new worlds/entities.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905574606129534214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-16886941224687337912012-07-03T09:58:48.319-07:002012-07-03T09:58:48.319-07:00I’m not a big fan of movies that are nothing but e...I’m not a big fan of movies that are nothing but explosions (I’m looking at you Michael Bay.)...OMG lmao.<br /><br />You sound a lot like me.
