Speaking for myself, it's not a con. I enjoy the hangover as much as the actual reading.

I do too, actually. It's bittersweet but so satisfying at the same time. For me it means the book left such an impression and informs a small part of myself from then on. Then it becomes a part of my permanent collection so I can continue to revisit it over the years or possibly share it with a friend with similar taste.

Well said, you described exactly how I feel after finishing a wonderful book. I want to stay in that world and need some time to process and decompress before I can think of starting another.
