Most people have had the experience of reading a book and having that book stay with them well after they have finished it. This after-feeling is something that can keep a reader thinking about a book and wanting more from the particular author who wrote this book. I believe that this feeling comes from the author’s ability to create a world into which the reader can escape, so that he or she is not just reading words on a page, but is actually having an experience of a story. This after-feeling is a product of having gone to another world, another place and time. And often times, the reader will want to return to that special universe.
