(Reddit) That Empty Feeling When You Finish A Book/Series

Do you get that empty feeling when you finish a book that you've really gotten into, especially huge sagas like The Wheel of Time? I both hate and love that feeling; Because obviously I have enjoyed the book/series immensely, and then the sometimes almost-crippling sadness that it's finished.

How about you guys? Do you get that emotionally invested in a book that it hurts to put it down? (Reddit user Belthaz)

No I don't, I usually start another a few seconds later lol.

I just hate watching the back cover draw closer. A book shouldn't drag on for ever, but I usually find myself wanting more, not less.

Finishing a book is a bit strange, all this stuff happens and then, poof, nothing. I guess that's bit of an empty feeling.

Yeah and strangely enough I still rush my way through it, even if it'll feel glum after the end.

Still true, just now it's my moving-picture books!
