And isn't that a strange thing?
Especially the 'dreaming in the voice of the author'.

What is that?

Really makes you wonder how the process of reading working in our brains.
That we can 'get into' a book and forget that our eyes are even moving over words.
It's like someone is in our heads whispering ideas and thoughts as if they were ours.


...or something.
Probably just me.

I used to read Agatha Christie a lot (one book after another) when I was a teen and used to hear the words in an English accent. In fact, I read her books so much back then I started to structure sentences like she did.
