Has anyone ever said to you "It's just a book. Why are you getting all worked up?" Refrain from violence, but it's okay to give them this Leia-look.
Your non-bookish friends don't get it when you laugh or cry over your book. They don't comprehend how invested you get into the lives of your book characters. They don't grasp how exciting it can be to travel to different worlds--fake or real--through the pages of a story. The adventures can keep you preoccupied for days. The thing is a book isn't just paper, ink, and possibly a fancy cover. They are portals to new worlds, perspectives, friends, emotions, lessons, and so much more. We don't just read a book; we absorb it and it becomes a part of our thoughts and actions. So, it's all right to give your non-bookish friend a scowl when they say, "It's just a book."
