No, but it certainly puts me on the edge of my seat!. This is the mark of a great author!. The person who can make you so mad that you'll cuss them out as you slam the book shut!. But !. !. !. you know you always go back to it!.

Good question!. I find myself saying, "why don't you just do this!.!.!.!. do that!.!.!. !?!?!? How stupid!." No, haven't thrown one across the room yet, but I've been darn close!.

I love your questions today!
Haha, no, I haven't thrown a book across the room in frustration!. (Gently tossed one from just being clumsy, yes, but that's a bit off topic!.!.!.) The most I've done to a book after getting annoyed/angry/[insert negative emotion here] by/with a character is slamming the book down on the nearest surface!.

I haven't thrown a book, they are too precious to me being almost like children, but I have been incredibly incensed at what a character has done before!. Usually I reach over next to me and throw one of the pillows on the couch!. Then I feel rather stupid because it really is only a book!

Good luck and happy reading!Www@QuestionHome@Com
