How do you get hooked to a book?

a book has to entice me in [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] same goes for rose, all i have to do is pick a book, open to first page then i fall in.

if a book cant transport me to another world, then it doesnt work for me. i never read LOTR till now after the movie, cos i tried to read the hobbit and fell out of it half way several different times, but i forced myself to read the hobbit this time and got thru. then now i am reading the LOTR and it s a fascinating read. i guess when i was a teen, i wasn't into it. now i am in twenties, so i guess it works for me cos i appreciate the books better than i did in teens [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
