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.

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.
