post book depression

I finished Inheritance by Christopher Paolini last night. In 18 days, an 850 page book (the final in the series). A book I've spent the last two months counting down to, and probably 2 years waiting to come out. And i read the whole thing in 18 days..... Quite upsetting after all the lead up.

I mean, yes it was an absolutely amazing book! I loved every moment of the story, particularly the last couple hundred pages. But i guess that now that I've read it and finished it i feel sad that there isn't another one still coming. I guess atleast with harry potter there was 7 books to read and 7 movies to watch before it was all over. The inheritance cycle however was over in 4 books (obviously, it's a cycle) and a failed movie which amounted no sequels there after. So in all, a short time to come to terms with the end of it.

I know it won't be the last book Paolini writes; he is only in his 20's after all. But i guess its like when a tv series ends. You grow attached to the characters, you grow bonds with them like normal friends. And of course after several reading of the series its quite a bond you can form. Thus my sadness at completion of the book. Now i just hve to get over my post-book breakdown (lol that sounds truly sad but thats what some people actually call it) and just read the series several million times more. And possibly by that time i'll have quite a good book stuck in my head for belonging for english :P
