Monologues

I love love love those long reflective uninterrupted monologues. Not sure what the mechanism is, but they do something magnificent to my mind. It's like sauntering in the character's mind. Then I start wondering how much could be common between the author and the character? How much could be common between the character and myself? 
The ultimate thrill is when I find the monologue exposing thoughts I always considered bizarre and imagined they were exclusively confined to my disturbed mind. At that moment, I feel like hugging that character. Maybe I'm not that disturbed after all. Or maybe it's simply ok to be disturbed. :)
