I say:"that cow!" when someone does something bad to the main character what about you?(don't want anyone to think i'm a potty mouth)
 
When I don't want to leave the characters behind. That's what makes good sequels so satisfying.
 
When I look up and the time has flown away.

When I find myself smiling at the page.

When I have to find some poor soul to ramble to about how amazing this book is, what is in it, what has happened, and everything in between :D

I completely understand.I have to take a 2-hour train ride every week and always take a good book with me to fend of the boredom.Lots of times i find myself smiling even laughing outloud at the page,i also find myself getting strange looks from my fellow commuters and a widening circle around me.
 
lol Yes!

Also, if it is really good I might mumble to myself! I might say something like, "this is great," or "what a wonderful line." It has to be REALLY special for the mumbling tho. :D

I either laugh out loud, or, if I find a quote that I like, I usually say "Oooh, that's good." The other night, I started The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents while in the bathtub and I kept giggling. Our floors are quite thin, so I hate to think what our neighbors were thinking...especially if they realized my husband was out of town. :eek:
 
lol

Especially if you kept finding great lines and gonig, "ooooh that's good." lol

PS: Chewie, have you read Good Omens? If not, I think you will love it :)
 
I have read Good Omens, and I did indeed enjoy it. I loved the four horsemen, they greatly amused me. I prefer just straight Pratchett, though. He might be a Douglas Adams rip-off, but he's still funny.
 
He is funny :) I read the first one when it came out. I read every book after that up until the 15th ish one. Now he is not so funny for me. Same characters, same jokes and set in the same places. I just wish he would do something different :mad: If he ever writes something other than discworld, I will be first in line to buy :D

I know it is a good book when the whole world disappears and I am totally immersed in the book. My husband could be standing right next to me asking a question and I would never know it, because I've become a part of the book.

Also, if I want to read it again, or draw out the time it takes me to read it, so that I can savour it, I know it is a good book.
