Adriana´s post "Books, body and soul": my own version
The book, like a living creature, has both a physical body and an immaterial soul...
... said @Adriana in her post. This makes me reflect. I sit on my comfortable sofa closing my eyes, preparing myself to what I hope will be a brainstorm between myself and me. I remember another sentence:
The soul of a book you experience by reading.
I don´t know what to make out of this sentence. I´m not reading. I´m only sitting still. I continue, for what seems like a never ending time. Nothing happens, of course. I change position, feeling uncomfortable.

That was quite an experience. I sometimes dream about what was before the book turn into the book, like the tree living and breathing.

@Naturefreak Yes, you are a nature guy, so you always will feel for the trees. but then again, you are also a writer. Man! You have to resolve that problem... you are pulled from side to side
Those are the best kind of books, the ones that draw us so into them that suddenly we experience all those senses.

intense, bookworm addict?
@missmuhimu I like to read, I read everyday. Sometimes I adore the book I´m reading. But I wouldn´t describe myself as a bookworm, no.

Intriguing! I love how you broke the walls between fiction and reality, your world and the character's world blending into one. Reads like the beginning of a fine crime novel. And thank you so much for mentioning me 🙂

@Adriana YW! Your story awaken something inside of me. I can call it my best instinct? Or worst instinct😉?
You should start writing your own book! Great story, I loved it, and laughed out loud at the end 😆

Sometimes you really experience a book, then you can't put it away and you want to keep reading. Beautifully written!
Original perspective of a living book, its living characters rising from the pages and speaking to you. I'm sure you'll never forget their personal stories 😄 but you're right, I guess that's what happens when we feel carried away by a good book!

Telling the story and involving you in it is one of the magics of reading. it makes me happy to know that you can dream and make it come true at the same time.😊
