Books are a blessing and a curse. They can wrap us up into getting so enthralled with the characters that at the end of the day we really don't know what to do with ourselves. One minute, as a reader, we can go from adoring the characters that we are reading about, and the next we can hate them...instantly.

So it's no surprise that after reading a well-written book that the impact of the dialogue, settings, theme stick with us far after we've finished reading the book. Maybe if we're that dedicated to what we just read, we'll read it a couple of more times until we may as well become a part of that story.
