yeahhh that happens to me it seems to me that books change a big part of me and so leaving them even knowing that i might turn to them it also hurts very much because even if i turn to them again i will find things that are expected and very much the same (because they are) and no new feeling will arise!.!.!.it makes me soo sad
that happened in harry potter series i was soo overwhelmed by my grief that i didn't want to finish it but i couldn't !.!.!. it has been a part of my life and a happiness to me!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one! Yes, I constantly feel that way, even if the book was terrible, I feel as if I am leaving a world behind!. For example, when I was reading Breaking Dawn, I felt as if I was leaving Forks, Bella, and Edward forever!. Whenever I read a book, I feel as if I am a part of the story, and when it is finished, I am going away forever!. Of course, the fact that I have a vivid imagination, and I have dreams about the books I read is not very helpful either!.!.!. But anyway, I always feel sad, and tend to make myself feel better by reading the book again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely! Whilst reading a good novel, I get so involved with the reality of the story and almost forget about what is really happening in my own story!. And once I'm finally done with the novel, I look around myself and realize how nothing changed around me, and that everything I read unfortunately is not really there, and life seems so dull and colorless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes! Especially when a series ends and you know there won't be any more books in that series!. Like, for me, Harry Potter or A Series of Unfortunate Events!. I was so sad when those series were over!. But, all you've got to do is find a new series of books and fall in love with those!. As I have, with Twilight!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

i agree!. Although you love to get to the end of the book , when that moment comes, it becomes a big moment to you ; closing it and placing it back on the shelf!. Sometimes i love to read the last page over and over again, its something ive always done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know how you feel it happens to me all the time!. I buy my books instead of going to the library so i can always go back to the book if i ever feel like it!. I feel especially sad if i finished a series (harry potter, twilight)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes especially if it was really in-depth and i got really attached to it!
When I read the last Harry Potter book I was depressed for like a week after it felt like it was the end of something that I had grown up with! (well it kinda was lol)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, It has to be a really good book for me to miss it, When I finished the catcher in the rye I was really sad!. I felt the main character holden was like my bestfriend!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, I don't like finishing a book if I really like it!. If it's dull I usually am happy it's finished!. I can't start a book and not finish it!.!.!.I like, have to know what happens!. Haha!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No I like to celebrate!.!.!.finally done with it!.!.!.woohoo!!!

Of course I'm a horrible book reader, so it's amazing if I ever get to the end of ANY book and is just cause for a celebration!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

that's funny!. I thought I was the only one who felt like that!. Its like I cant wait to get to the end to see how it turns out!.!.!.and then when I finish reading that last sentence, I feel kinda sad!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it's a good long series, yeah!.

If it's a perpetually unfinished series being raped by the author's hack writer son, definitely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do :0)

It depends on the book though, sometimes I'm just glad that I have finished it, but if I really really enjoyed it then I get sad, I guess just knowing that it's over :pWww@QuestionHome@Com

Omg yes! Exspecially when your done with a series!. Your happy that it was a good book but sad that it's over!. Like anything by Meg Cabot! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I feel like I've completed another
journey!. I can re-live the journey
at any time!. It makes me happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that is exactly how i feel right now now that i've finished reading the twilight series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, because sometimes when i like i book i want it to not finish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Totally! Sometimes I go back and read books again just to bring the characters back to life!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!.!.
but then I remember I own it and I can read it whenever I want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
