I Finished My Book and Now I’m Depressed
Last week I was reading a book. Best book ever, okay, that may be stretching it, but it was good. I loved reading it, looked forward to reading it, made excuses to read it. Good.
I finished it.
It’s over.
It’s like someone broke up with me and I want to go spend time with them, but they are like “we’re finished, move on.”
So I said back,
“Yeah, well, I’m going to sit on my couch all day eating chocolate and watch TV. That’s right. Tee Vee. So there.”
Sure I know there are other books out there and what not, but I really liked that one. I even picked out a few baby names, just in case.
Tomorrow I guess I could go to the library, or maybe Barnes & Noble, but what if we run into each other and someone else is reading it?
And I’ll be like, “oh I see you’re on chapter seven. Chapter seven was good, but it was no chapter eight.” I sense it will be awkward. I can’t bear to think. There’s also Amazon, but if I find THE book is that the story I want to tell the grand-kids?
I guess there is nothing to do except stay home and watch Million Dollar Listing and see if Chad has figured out he’s gay or not. Yes, I realize he’s the one with the girl friend, but honey, he carries a dog around in a purse. Gay!
I would totally punch Tech Support in the face if he brought home a dog in a purse. I’d kick him in the balls if he made me sign a parenting agreement with him regarding said dog. With an attorney. Seriously.
“What I can’t hear you, I just downloaded that book off of iTunes. You and your purse-a-poodle will be very happy, now go….”

I’m just glad to know that I’m not the only one that gets *that* involved with a good book

I often have rough breaks with my books. I read a few authors religously, so I’ll finish the new one, then have withdrawl symptoms for the 6+ months until the next comes out. It’s a tough life, but I do it for love…
