Have you ever read a book, then felt lost when you've finished it? email this discussion to a friend?

I read a lot of books, most of which I enjoy because I'm picky about what I read, but there have been some books that I have read which I've felt really sad to finish. Every once in a while I have finished a book, and felt completely lost when it's over. The one I remember feeling that way about most was with the Lord of the Rings, which I read when I was 15 - that took me days to get over. I think maybe it's to do with being completely immersed in another world, then when it's finished it's hard to adjust to reality. What about you, have you ever felt like that?

Definitely. If I am really enjoying a book, I read it in a few sittings because I can't bear to put it down and want to see what happens next. Trouble is, then the book is finished and I am left wanting more. I felt like that with the final Harry Potter book (well, all of them really) and my favourite Dean Koonz novel, Lightning. I had a similar feeling on finishing Angels and Demons.

I know the feeling, I love to read! I would read anything, cereal boxes if that was all to be had. I will go thru 3 or 4 books in a week. But, everyone once in awhile, I absolutely hate to finish a book. I will think about it for days, usually it is a series that does that to me. The Outsider series by Diana Galbadon stayed with me a long time as did all the Harry Potter books. Books provide me with a mental vacation!
