Hi... I am a complete bookworm... I have read thousands and thousands of books. As Busby says , imagination is a wonderful thing as in we visualise the setting, the characters... And can grow fond of the what we bring to "life" in our minds eye, especially if it was an "epic"..... Many times , I have then seen that there is a film, of a particular book that I loved... And that's where it falls flat for me .. because usually, it is nothing like how I "portrayed" in my mind.. the characters are all wrong LOL... And if I see a really good film, I cannot then read the book of the film, as that has ruined the story !!.. But maybe I'm a bit odd !!
