The feeling of getting lost in a book


Open up a book and walk into another person’s mind.

Fall so deeply into this imagined world, forget where you are

 forget that there is anything other than you and the world in your hands.

Getting lost in a book feels like déjà vu

  Visiting a place you’ve been a thousand times in a past life. 

 Getting lost in a book is to be a child again

   To get lost in a book is not to get lost at all

  To get lost in a book is simply to find yourself in worlds yet discovered
