I do. I love reading fiction and got through thousands of fiction books in my teens.

My experience of it is quite different from most, as I have come to understand.

I never understood what people meant when they said "That character in the movie didn't look at all like I imagined him."

I always thought they just meant "I don't think the movie makers came up with a good version."

I did try my hand at writing fiction once, and I was boggled at how hard it was to do something like write a military skirmish. I was sketching maps and trying to work out topography and all kinds of details.

Now that I know people can visualize the scene then describe it, well... my difficulties make a lot more sense.
