That won't work on me, beings. Much like with Malta or Reyn. Or even Thymara. I have zero urge to agree with you. Whistling

A friend of mine did his psychology thesis on people who are "transported" while reading, as you describe. Apparently some people experience this much more intensely than others. Not sure what the technical term is, but I am certainly one of those people.

What a great feeling to find an author/book/series that does that to you. The series that paricularly did that for me: RH (mostly the Farseer and Fool triologies, not the others), Harry Potter, LOTR, His Dark Materials, Patrick Rothfuss and GRRM/ASoIaF.

All of those except LOTR! I couldn't finish it, though I do intend to try again one day

I'm of the transportable type and there are times that I've been very grateful for it..escapism at it's best! I too have to see a series through to the end (if I like it, that is) I can't bumble about between different stories/series. One world at a time and usually I'm well and truly sucked in! Book

Far too wooden. Not very edible.

Lord of the three realms you may be, but eating the table really wasn't your best idea. Have a cheese melt instead, you know you want to..
