What has been the craziest thing/unusual thing you've done because you were reading a book...???

Harry Potter - Tried to pick up a broomstick by saying up and ended up hitting myself in the face.

maybe i thought i had a possibility of being a vamp. BUAHHAHAH

HAHA
in 3rd grade I really used to think that the moon was made out of cheese because for some reason in the pictures it looked..yummy?

long time ago.. after reading one of the little house on the prairie books (idk which one).. it snowed.. so they brought a pot outside and filled it with snow.. then brought it back home.. and put maple syrup on it.. well the syrup like froze or something so they became like candies? well this winter that's what i did and it didn't work

I got sad and cynical for a while because of a book..starting thinking human beings are ultimately evil.

Ditto, I was reading K-PAX trilogy.

I was reading this random vampire series...

and developed a weird thing for cranberry juice because in the right mug, it looked like blood...

OMFG! I thought about if that really worked, but it doesn't snow here so I couldn't really try it out!
So how did that...taste like?

Carved the word "hear" into my arm. Book: Sharp Objects

I forgot which action/adventure novel left me wanting to kill stuff. I went into Rambo mode and bounced off the walls. I'm pretty sure I was a lot younger than I am now though. It was like I was after watching 300. :P

It was also like after a kid watches Tarzan for the first time, and is convinced he can do everything Tarzan could.

In the book, Boy Meets Boy, there's a part where Paul shows Noah love. So I did the same for a certain person I liked.

hahahaha that happened to me too. after reading the manga elfen lied i started thinkin the same thing too

I've been wanting to try that ever since I've read the series long ago. I'm sad to hear it doesn't quite work, though.

As for me, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, but have gone into numerous daydreams and thoughtful moods after reading certain books and poetry. A good book can turn my mood 360 degrees.

it tastes disgusting well, the snow wasn't hard enough, so it wasn't a "candy". i guess the weather has to be cold so that the syrup freezes? well anyways i thought it was the worst thing i've ever tasted.

Nothing terribly interesting. When I was reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I didn't eat or sleep for nearly two days. All I wanted to do was read the book. I read it twice in those two days.

I was reading a monster book and I had to drag my mom with me whenever I needed to use the bathroom...this was a long time ago.

I did that too...

I remember I was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... and I didn't want to stop even I had to go out for lunch, so I brought the book (hardback UK version) with me and that was like so heavy for a 11-year-old kid.

read from 12 am to 1 am non-stop...Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

purposely locked myself in the attic so I could finish a book for a book report without any distractions. it took me all day. how stupid.

joined up with the volturi.

i think that pretty much takes it for craziest thing ever

I like imagining myself in the book. It's funnn.

Hi, my name is Mark David Chapman. Hmm, craziest thing I did because of a book...

read until 5 am on days that i was supposed to get up early...on numerous occasions...haha.

Ah well...finding a stick[wand] & trying to do spells. Hoping my Hogwarts letter would come...

I've also stayed up quite late reading countless times...actually, I've gone without sleep & read straight through before. I think that was the fifth Harry Potter book.

Uhmm thanks to some books I've had a very dark outlook on life for short periods of time...well, a lot darker than usual at least.

After reading Fahrenheit 451 I began telling everyone how important books were, and kind of making a fool of myself about it.

& While reading Twilight I would literally sit in my room and fantasize about Edward.

After reading the fourth Harry Potter book, I drew a dark mark on my arm and went around pointing a stick at people and shouting "CRUCIO!" and didn't understand why it didn't work...

while actually reading, I've read for days without sleeping, only moving to get a new book, get some coffee, or go to the bathrooom.

but that's mania for you... haha.

I am getting a lightning bolt tattoo behind my ear for Harry Potter.

I've stayed up late just to finish the book, especially with the Harry Potter books. After I got my book at midnight, I stayed up all night just to finish it.

Every time I was reading a Harry Potter book I went without eating or sleeping. I wouldent get out of my room, I woudlent talk or even move. I think I even once brought it with me to the bathroom..

yeah ive lost 10 pounds when i first started reading for a long time.........it rocked!

only the twilight and harry potter books kept me without food thought.....

but im always up late reading

i think only augusten burroughs can make being a complete lush seems glamourous. when i read dry i started to think maybe it would be cool to be him...
but i came to my senses really quickly.

I read this book when I was ten and because of it I tried to be build an underground city in my backyard. I didn't get very far.

When the final HP book came out i stayed up till like 6am reading on my sis's bed she was passed out on the floor i wouldn't eat or anything.
i didnt even get up to pee until the next morning..
lol thats books for you
!

OH! i was at one of my friends house in Jeff City, and she was sleeping so i finished my harry potter book. i can't remember which one...uhmm, i know it had this thing about his symbol or whatever it was in the sky. when i stopped, i looked out the window and everybody was running around playing and people walking around and i was like "how could they be out there at a time like this, let alone having fun?" so...i felt pretty stupid. XD

While reading Twilight, I brought the book with me everywhere like a conjoined twin.
I've also been convinced I was a vampire, and when I hugged people I came very, very close to biting their necks just to see if I could enjoy the taste of blood.
Almost.

I did something similar. I decieded Holden from Catcher in the Rye was my hero so I became severly depressed and nobody was worth my time besides a select group of friends. All my teachers thought I was antisocial and my parents considered taking me to therapy. I'm glad that didn't last.

After reading ender's game...

Wow, I loved that book. I tried to jump off walls while playing laser tag.

i pretened i was a witch after reading harry potter. i was laying on my bed and i was practicing spells and making up my own........

sadly they never worked....

I used books as the ultimate escapism as a kid; everything I read became real.

I would consider this more emotional than crazy...

While reading Stephen King's The Stand, my favorite character died during a heroic act. I bawled like a baby.

I half-hoped of finding an egg hidden behind the trees and bushes of my backyard ater reading Eragon. The book never gets old for me.

I shout lumos at light switches hoping the lights come on.

I read AND watched Romeo and Juliet because of the Twilight series.

That's how it is for me when I read a lot of books.
