Post Novel Depression

The feeling of extreme boredom/anxiety, in the first few days, following the completion of a good book.

Ever since finishing 'Cloud Splitter' by Russel Banks, I just can't seem to shake this Post Novel Depression.

I almost turned the tv on, maybe I have Post Novel Depression?
The doctor prescribed 'Barnes and Nobel' for my Post Novel Depression.

post-novel depression

the depression you feel after reading a brilliant book and getting to know the characters, then the book ends and you feel empty knowing you can't just pick it up where you left off.
