I love this post. Especially the part where you said "you travel into the author's mind", usually when I read books I don't rush unlike some that will collect a book of about a thousand pages tonight and they're done with it the next morning. I read a few chapters and then try to create a scene in my mind the exact way the book puts it before going on. That way I can understand and not just read for reading sake
