but i'll take the "normal" case -- reading a fiction novel. at some point shortly after starting to read, i drop into the story. it's a little like dreaming. i'm "experiencing" the book, not reading it. i can look up, put it down, but the whole time i'm actually reading (and in the best of times with a gripping readable story, i'm matching meg's speed of 120+ pages/hr) i'm inside the story. it's gotten to where, if i can't get inside the story, i put the book down.
