Like when I read posts that I've missed from being sleep or whatever, I basically just make up a voice that I think represents the person as they read, and sometimes see the topic as a setting, say a building in a town, the board, part of an entire nation, the category, perhaps the forum being the entire world. Or you could shorten that and say that the entire internet is the world and the forum is a nation but that's not the point.
I find it helpful so that I don't just skip through not feeling like reading anything, it's sort of like a book being played out in my head.
I'm pretty sure some of you around here do this, but for those who don't I recommend you do because it makes reading posts a whole lot more fun.
