When I'm done with a book, it never feels like I'm actually done. I'll close the book, look up, and sit in a daze like I'm still stuck in my reading. It's just the weirdest feeling as I slowly come back to reality. Then I'll remember it and daydream about the highlights of the story.

sita-am-i oh yes, i love that feeling, it is soo cool, but it is kind of weird when i finish a book in school, and people look at me funny because i am so happy with the ending. and to me, it happens all the time. oh i just finished a book last night, and i kept spazing out over it.... it was such a great ending, but i didnt want it to be over, so i was happy and mad...

At the end of a good book, I get a rather empty feeling. It is like no grand finale is really truly good enough, it is like ending the people's lives. I also get kind of an accomplished feeling that I have finished something.

I also think "What if..." and I feel very...content because I finished and I know how it all went down. I feel attached, because the book was thrilling/good/mysterious/whatever. But then I feel sad because I'll never get to encounter these people again and am sad because I loved them so much and they are gone. It's half-half for me. Good and bad. Happy and sad.

I feel happy I was abe to get through it and add the book to my collection and visit the characters again my head and whenever I want read that book again or just certain section I enjoyed. Books are very important to me, almost none of my friends share my enthusiasm for them and some even say.......No I cannot speak it aloud. Lol

golden_eyed_mystery When I'm done with a great book, I kind of feel overwhelmed.
That happened to me a few days ago.
I was close to the end, and my pulse was going fast (which was a first when reading, so I had quite a shock) I felt as though I were about to cry, because something had just happened that threw the book into another spiral surprise.
But it all ended well. The only thing was that I went to sleep with the adrenaline rush three or some hours later. ._.

I was checking out Post Secret, and someone sent in a secret that reminded me of this thread.

Some books cause such an enormous euphoria rush that it's hard to think realistically and not attempt to conquer and improve the world. And other books, such as the one I'm reading now, A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, leave me spewing random scientific facts to whoever wants to hear. Unfortunately, the people that do not want to hear at all also fall victim to my recurring bouts of 'and did you know that...'

I love that feeling. One of the best parts of reading a book is finishing it and getting that feeling.
The most memerable after-glow of a book for me is the time I finished Interview with the Vampire. I literally did not move for a half an hour. That book is the most thought provoking book I've ever read.

When I finish a stand-alone book that is truly great I whisper, "Wow" in absolute awe over and over again as I remember the parts of the plot that impacted me the most.
With series it's rather different. Because I've been wih the characters throughout several novels I'm always disapointed when it finishes, however, I may still be satisfied with the ending of the final installment and smile to myself even though I feel like crying.

I walk about in a daze for days, if its an especially good book, like with the Farseer Trilogy. I'll sit for a while and just stare into space. Thinking about, well nothing for a while. And then I kinda... well, its like reality coming crashing down, but its not really reality its... indescribable. Its an amazing feeling. And I feel real lethargic for a while. Then I'll emerge from whatever haven I was occupying and burst into a big long spiel about the book to the first person, animal or object I come across. My piano tends to get an extra special amount of attention after I've read an exceptional book.
If I just really like the book, I'll go mute for a while. And talk to nobody.
That distinction it a bit strange, isn't it?
Like Minerva says, I also tend to feel slightly differently about stand-alones than serieses (I don't actually know the plural of series). If its a stand alone, I'll be like "Whoa." And again, that dazed feeling, only more so 'cause of the whole thing being over so soon. Whereas with a series I go through the whole rigmarole described above.

I have the same reaction to finishing a good book as finishing a good game or anime series. I have this weird feeling of accomplishment and wishing that it wasn't over quite yet.

I hate that feeling you get that when you're almost done with abook, you have to understand that the book is about to end... No more reading... I once cried when I was almost at the ending, not because it was sad, but because I didn't want to stop reading...
