So... after I read a book, I tend to develop some sort of weird language I picked up from the book. Like, say I read Harry Potter, I'll be calling people muggles, and half-bloods and whatnot. Or I read the Outsiders once, and after that, I said "I ain't a woofin'" For a long time. I also used slang used in the Outsiders for a long time after that.
I would also develop the same habits someone would have in the book. Like, I read The Fault in Our Stars, and afterwards, I didn't like eating meat, I talked as if I were depressed, and I was just making no sense to anyone but people who've read the book. And I don't do those changes on purpose.
I've literally just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and I just realized I'm talking like they did in the book. I just developed those personalities and slang subconsciously.
Does anyone know what that's called? Or am I crazy?
