When I was just about finished reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time, I sat it down with about 50 pages left to read. I didn't pick it back up for 2 weeks. I think I was subconsciously avoiding it because when I get to the end of a book that is so involved and that I love so much, I get sad. It is like leaving behind my best friends, and not being able to enter that favorite world again. It's almost like a part of me is missing for sometime. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Now, I hear about how weird I am very often, is this just another element of my weirdness, or are there others in the world like me, who get so attached to something that they are saddened when the experience is over?
