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.

A good book can turn my mood 360 degrees. |

So how did that...taste like? 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 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.

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'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.

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.

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. |

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