whats your imagination like when you read a book? how do you visualize the characters and enviroment?i was recently looking at some illustrations and i realised i see things in a more cartoony way than other people like a chaaracter who is an old man who used to be a soldier was wearing a hat to me because soldier = hat even if he wasnt wearing the rest of the uniform because he is no longer a soldier even tho realistically there is no reason for the hat eitheror this young woman who was aworkaholic and very strict to me she had her hait tied so hard you could notice with just a look and also a large nose to give the idea that every muscle on her face was tensei kind of feel like a middleschool child now

Photorealistic but chaotic abstract at the same time. It's not like I focus on it much it just kinda happens. It really depends on how good the author is as well. For instance Tolstoy is always very clear and sharp while with Dostoyevsky it's more abstract. Also if a character shares a distinct name with a character from a visual medium my brain inserts the former come hell or high water. Most recently I had this problem when I was reading Red Rising and was short circuiting everytime Holliday was being described as a tall muscular cyborg lady with a Mohawk while I was imagining her as Holliday from deadlock. Kinda annoying.
>>24955442>ouldn't care less about details or anything that doesn't advance the plotAgreed. I think many writers fail to understand that setting should develop the plot. They just put it in for the sake of establishing an environment requirement. But I do however find descriptive writing important if it develops plot. I have made discoveries of people around me from the smallest details in their behaviour or possessions.
Depends. Some books conjure vivid scenes in my mind, others nothing at all. In any case it's orthogonal to the quality of the book.>>24955442I skip fighting scenes when I know who's gonna win and I drop the book when the main character loses.
