Do you get visual when your reading?

I love it when books contain imagery allowing for the reader to visualize what's occuring in the plot. When I come across writing that doesn't allow for this, it's difficult for me to embrace the story or what the writer is attempting to convey.

Nope... but my mind wanders all over the place... And I'm thinking what would I do in the same situation... and actually I try to identify myself with the personage:)

Definately. I think about what the characters and locations look like and often day dream about the stories i'm reading. I wouldn't be able to read a book without doing it visually.

To me, this is a sign of a well-written book. If the story is written good enough, it automatically unfolds in your mind. Sometimes the charaters faces get a little shaded in my mind, but other than that, the picture is usually quite clear. I find that if I can't get into the story itself, I tend to skip alot of the descriptives. I usually just end up skimming through the book after so long. But if the pace catches me near the beginning, I like to savor the story, sometime re-reading paragraphs until the picture is solid in my mind.

Yes I do. ;) It triggers my own imagination honestly. Sometimes you get so involved with the story that you sometimes feel the warmth or coldness of the setting you're reading about. ;)

I always visualize the characters and settings in the books I read. I can't imagine doing otherwise. The story wouldn't be real to me if I didn't. It helps if there is good cover art. It helps me to see what the author had in mind for the characters pictured. I have never shared my ideas of what they looked like, though. I figured most people already had a picture of the story in their mind, as well. It can be odd when I see movies made from the books I have read, especially if I have read them many times. The actors chosen are rarely similar to what the characters look like in my mind.
