I've just finished a wonderful YA, Crossing the Line by Di Bates, and the character got under my skin so much I wanted to adopt her. The books of my youth, LM Montgomery, Betty MacDonald, Gene Stratton Porter...it was all about the feeling, being able to live vicariously through the lives of my heroines, feel their love, anxiety, sadness. And books like Gerald Durrell's, Bill Bryson's, PG Wodehouse's - they always lift my spirits and make me see the funny side long after I've read them. <br /><br />Isn't it just so wonderful to be a reader!BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-47386936632769001952009-08-31T08:55:09.280-07:002009-08-31T08:55:09.280-07:00interesting results, I voted for emotion too.interesting results, I voted for emotion too.kayerjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479123027080062607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-22228473986885560452009-08-31T05:54:13.353-07:002009-08-31T05:54:13.353-07:00I love your polls and the thoughtful way in which ...I love your polls and the thoughtful way in which you sum up the answers.

I nearly choose a different answer, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that most of my impressions of book I read years ago were based in how they made me feel. I may not be able to name the main character or give you a detailed summary of the story, but I can tell you how I felt about the book. Of course, there are certain books that do stand out because of character, story, first line or a mixture. It can depend. But the feeling is what hits me first.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
