Book Buffer

The number of books you have queued to read someday.

Dave: Have you read Freakonomics? It's awesome. I'll lend it to you if you fancy
Arnold: Not yet; I've got quite a few books queued up at the moment, but if it's as good as you say, maybe it can skip the book buffer.

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.
