[Patricia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved reading about something what seems for me like something I indirectly or subconsciously do all the time when reading a book, listening to music or watching a show/movie; doing it on the level of emotions. All these books, songs, movies and shows that effect me on an emotional level are always my favorite. Thanks to this book I know that this is not a weird thing, but a good thing; a social thing. Definitely have to go back re-reading it.
