Book Hangover

Getting so emotionally invested in a book that you think about it for days on end. Characterized by sadness experienced when the book is over and the realization that one will never have the opportunity to feel the way they did reading it for the first time.

I finished reading the last Jhumpa Lahiri novel and have the worst book hangover.

book insomnia

When a book is so good you can't fall asleep because you'd have to stop reading.

"Man, you look tired."

"Yeah, I didn't sleep last night, I had book insomnia."

book spines

Used in literary circles, it's a slang term for bullshit.

Saxons, wood nymphs and berserkers roaming the woods in Modern day Pennsylvania is just a lot of book spines.
