Yes, I feel this feeling a lot!
However, if a book has consumed me and made me feel such a part of it's life and world, it's often quite traumatic to be done with it. I do resort to many of the tactics listed in the Weekly Geek post in order to deal with it.
Yes, I've been known to seek out other books with a similar theme.
Yes, I make other people read the book. (I did this with the ever popular Twilight, Book Thief, Hunger Games, etc.)
Yes, I read other things by the author and follow them around the internet.
No, I don't go seek out fan fiction though. That stuff sort of makes me crazy. And no I don't re-read over and over and over. For the most part anyway.
Some of the books that have caused this P.A.B.D. for me:
--The Whole Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
--The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
--Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
--The Goddess Series by P.C. Cast
-- pretty much any big epic fantasy-- pretty much any book where I feel a huge character connection. It's hard to let them go!
How about you? What books have caused you P.A.B.D.?
