The letdown after reading a really good book...

I was at sixes and sevens today, not ready to start a new book because I just finished a Grisham novel (whatever, okay? They're so well-crafted). Bored. Anybody else get this?

Yeah.
I sorta dread the coming end at times... especially with Covenant books or ones by Modessitt.
Maybe one or two other big, involved stories.

To be perfectly serious, I was scared when I finished the Malazan series. I didn't know how I could possibly read another book. I walked around in a daze for weeks.

You're all silly
(Especially you, Fist
)
I've gotten to the point where I usually enjoy a sort of sublime feeling after reading a "bonafide" really good book. The other reaction is sometimes a need for a "palate cleanser"... something fun and light (like Malazan
)
It helps to have plenty of access to books and knowing, through experience, that there will always be fantastic reading experiences awaiting me, and they are not going to be so hard to find!

Yeah, I get it at the end of big series...to know it's really over is always sad.

Julie gets almost depressed.
most novels don't resonate like that for me.
Watership Down does, my favorite book. and I must have reread it ten times. i still love it each time.
