What a great book can do

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.  William Styron

Word.  *grin*  
So true and how do I know?  I've experienced books that leave me with many experiences and at the end of the book I am reluctant to close it and end the story and my time with the characters.  I love it when an author can do that for their readers.  What is also so fun is that everyone has different authors that do this for them, we don't all like the same authors so that's why there can be so many authors and titles within genres.  I love reading, I'm pretty sure this doesn't surprise any of you.  And I love it because it opens up adventures for me and you.  Styron is right, we can live several lives while reading.  I think through several books that I have read that this has occurred.  One series this has definitely happened with is  Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series.  Talk about living several lives while reading!
