everytime i read a book thats intense my hands always get really cold, and when a charcter tells another one that they love him/her my heart races. its kind of wired when i think about it cause most of the time when i read a book that i completly forget whats happening around me. one time when i had to go somewhere at 7:30, i was reading a book i was into that when the time came i just said "alwell there always next wednsday" eek it was like i was possesed by the book

haha, with Twilight, when it got to the semi-awkward parts where they like kiss, or whatever they do, my heart started fluttering. It was weird o.o
Or in The Little House on the Prairie books, all the sad things that happened, I reacted to. Especially when their dog dies. I was crying over that for weeks.

I'm very good at getting so absorbed by the book that I react strongly to things that happen. Whenever I get excited about something that I think is going to happen, or is already happening (i.e., kidnapping, high-speed chases, etc...), I have to put the book down for a minute so I stop getting so excited - if I don't put it down, I can't keep reading. Occasionally, I have to do this more than once.
Then there's the laughing when a funny part comes up...though, I don't think I cry when something sad happens. Instead, I just get mad at the characters that made it happen. I get funny looks from family members when I do stuff like that (I tend to keep myself quieter when around other people).
Now, with video games and television...Man, you can hear me yelling at the t.v. all the way on the other side of the house (upstairs, included) when something I don't like happens. My entire family heard me yelling at a boss that I was fighting in a game (that I was close to beating), and just shook their heads...

It's actually really embarrassing what I do. During fighting scenes or such, I put my book down and start jumping and twirling around the room pretending I'm the character. Embarrassing, yes?
I guess the reason as to why I do it, is because I can't sit still for even one minute.

I've had to put a book down... It was Jinn by matthew B.J. Delaney It was a creepy book... but I love it... It 3was a good read but yeah those other things I've done... I chuckle when any character makes a dumb mistake and I get upset when Characters like sirius black die... you know characters I see a part of me in.

I do that a lot. like when something funny happens I laugh out loud or do something like say "HAHA....ha, the mustard....heehee...ooh"
also, when I was reading Misery, by Steven King whenever Misery would do something (like when she punched the guy in his already broken leg), I'd sort of wince and stop reading for a second, and start again.

If there is a chase scene or anything that involves running in a good book that I'm really deep into my legs will start to twitch.

Oh, sure. My favorite characters usually end up dying, and so I cry. I also mutter/talk to/yell at characters, twitch, wince, and various other things.
