Limiting potential imagination - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm with zb on this one. Unless I actually consciously try to envision a character or place, it just isn't there, with the possible exception of the very vivid and exciting scenes - for example at the end of Helm's Deep when it is describing how Gandalf came..."Down lept Shadowfax!...". Other than that I just don't see things when I read. When I think of a book character they are mostly described by their personality in my mind. In that way the book and the movie are definitely kept separate for me, for which I am glad.
