So in films I just look (and hear) away and wait till it's over. <br />In books it depends on how the scenes are written resp. how my head interprets such scenes. E.g. in the brilliant written books from Mo Hayder and Val McDermid (Tony Hill) I sometimes get such dreadful realistic pictures in my head that I just have to leave out some pages. <br />Books in which the author seems to have put sadistic scenes without importance for the storyline but obviously just to shock the reader I don't read at all. <br />The interesting thing is that my friends and I sometimes get quite different pictures of the same scenes in books in our heads. And that's what I really find fascinating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
