Has anyone read a book & when you were finished you felt sad b/c it was the end?

You wished the story would go on & on & on!

Like, every book.
Specifically the Sackett series by Louis L’amour, he died before he could complete it.

@pthomas59 i’ll check’em out and add it to my ever growing list. I swear I’ll end spending a quarter of my life reading.

I've had full-on book withdrawal on occasion, actually.

It's a thing, yep. I need a new read to get me there again, tough to find.

havent read the last terry pratchet book wish he had left it i his will others
could carry on the series

Personally I am glad they is not allowing anyone else to continue it. I don't remember ever seeing a series continued by somebody else that was anything except dreadful.

@GeorgeRocheleau zelazny’s Amber series is a case in point.

Almost every Vonnegut book I read.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was like that and was always pleased to discover the "trilogy" had more than three books.

Level 5

All the time. Proves it was a good book.

Level 8

I was very sad when I read Terry Pratchett's last book. His books had always brought me so much joy, and the knowledge that there would never be another one brought me to tears.

Level 7

Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love" produced that response.

Oh yea..for me with Heinlein it was I Will Fear No Evil...i was about 10 or 20 pages to end on my commute. I sat in the train station to finish.. I love him.

Yes-can't think of a specific book right now but yes.

More than once.

Level 7

Many times, particularly when I was young.

Level 6

Yes, but fortunately I like Series books, so there is usually another one coming in a year.

Level 8

Of course

Level 9

Yes.

Level 8

Absolutely!!! Angela's Ashes, I Know This Much is True, The Notebook, Still Alice, and probably 100 more that I cannot think of off-hand.

Often, especially if it is the last in a great series.

Level 8

I can't count how many books left me feeling that there is more.....

Level 8

Common outcome.

Level 7

But I wasn't ready to leave your world yet!

Only all the time. Why do you think fanfic exists? Of course, some of it sucks, but a lot of Marion Zimmer Bradley's contributors to Darkover went on to develop full-fledged worlds and careers of their own.

Level 8

Yes

  • Hyperbole and a half
  • The lost gospels, Al Jourgenson

Level 7

Many times! It's like saying goodbye to an old friend you don't want to see go.

Level 4

When that happens look for something else by the author.

1

Level 7

Repeatedly.

Level 8

Im disappointed when I don’t feel disappointed ?
