I'm the same way!! Surprisingly it's a method of reading, I think called absorption and it is how life-long readers come to be. I'm so attached to the characters I read about.
I have also had this experience! Sometimes I am so into a book that I go away and come back and think I was watching television! Honestly I've gone to the bathroom, come back and thought to myself why is the tv off, then I remember I was reading

Great topic! No matter where I am I always have a book in my purse or tote bag. Thought I would give a few recommendations that I haven’t seen listed yet.
If you love animals: When Elephants Weep by Masson and McCarthy and Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.
Humorous contemporary romance with a country/redneck twist: anything by LuAnn McLane. Great light reading and funny.
If you’re into paranormal romance or vampires: anything by Laurell K. Hamilton. Definitely adults only!
And has anyone read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow? I just saw his interviews and am thinking about buying the book. Anyone recommend it? Thanks!

I've been having Harry Potter withdrawal lately. I was so sad to turn the last page of the last book...but all good things must come to an end eventually, right?'
I also enjoyed reading the Ray Bradbury books when I was in school.

Oh, and for something fun, I'm taking ideas of what our "motto" should be for the Bookwormzzz. You know, something to put in our signatures for the "cleek"

Our motto should be "don't judge a book by its cover" and the logo can be a little glittah book. What do you think?

Oooo, I like that saralin. I'm having problems putting pics in my signature line. I never know which code to use for this board...

I like "don't judge a book by it's cover" 
Another suggestion - "read between the lines" lol maybe I can come up with something better later

Gregory, that would be Philippa Gregory who wrote The Other Boleyn Girl.

Ω - I'm going to post a non-recommendation: Catcher in the Rye. I just didn;t enjoy it. I realize it's a classic and that it was groundbreaking in its day, but it just didn't speak to me. I just couldn't feel for Holden, the wealthy emo kid, and it just seemed like Salinger was trying to hard to sound like a teenager (I was getting sick of the expressions "...and all" and "what I did was..."). Just my $.02, as I'm sure there are others who would recommend it.

Like the garden one...kinda deep. What's UBB? (sorry I'm slow tonight lol)

Val: I think I have to agree with you. I had a really hard time getting through it. The last time I tried to read it was in high school, but I just remember wanting to throw it away and never see it again. I don't know if I would feel different about it now or not...

it's a code to put in images and text and...stuff...
there's a thread somewhere that tells how to do it. Hang on

Oh my gosh..that totally always happens to me...i get so caught up in the book and create images for each character that i sometimes forget its only a book and not a movie!
I feel almost ashamed to tell you guys about the books i read becuase they aren't the type of "intellectual" books that you read in schools...they are simple fun romance novels that are set in modern day cities and lifestyle! I like books like the 'Shopaholic Series'...mainly because they are so light hearted and not only set in a culture that i understand but live in!
I just discovered the 'Slightly Series' which follows a woman in her mid-20s as she gets dumped by her long term boyfriend, but ends up finding herself and starts dating someone new, whom she eventually gets married too!
