That's always been my favorite part about books and games: you can be whatever you imagine. You decide how the character look,s sounds, and acts, and that is quite exciting to do. Imagination combined with games and books can provide endless entertainment, even if you're not actively using them.
This is so true. I fondly remember the years when I was 12-15 years old and first started to read J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and other works. I was completely immersed in that world, I basically lived in Middle-Earth. I miss that time, but it's always possible to have a glimpse of that world back by reading the books. Though it's not quite the same as it was when I was a kid. I guess imagination dwindles, or it gets constrained by all the knowledge and habits you have acquired as you age.
