Book Challenge - Day 14

Day 14 - Top 5 experiences while reading
I'm not entirely sure what this prompt is referring to, but I guess I'll just make it up as I go along! =3
The top 5 experiences I've had while reading would have to include laughing aloud and crying (as in really sobbing crying). Both have earned me odd looks, but I consider it testament to any book's greatness if it can make me extremely emotional.
Losing an entire day while reading, and looking up to find it is the early morning of the next day would be another one, which I've done a few times whilst wrapped up wholly in a book.
Alongside this would be falling in love with a character, so much so that I cry when they die, leave, or the book ends -- and being so scared from a book that I either can't sleep from my overactive imagination, or get horrible nightmares.
All of these would be in my top 5, simply because I believe that eliciting these kinds of responses shows just how good a book really is.
