The Connections of Reading

The discussion in class yesterday made me think about the adults' role as a reader. We were talking about how children not only read a book, they put themselves in a book. I think adults do this as well. When I read a good novel I often place myself into the story. Rather I am one of the characters or a ghostly figure hovering above, watching, I find myself involved in the story. I think this is one of the connections that still strongly exists between children and adults. Even as you grow up, you still hold the ability to place yourself into another world. One is still able to enter a portal at any age.
