I recently finished reading Moby Dick (I had been so intimidated by the thought of reading it for so long). I read the final chapter so slowly, and after I read the last line I burst out crying. And it takes a lot to make me cry, and when I do it's almost always about an animal(s).
I didn't want to leave the world of Moby Dick. I want to go back to that world, that experience. I will go back.
A word for this? Post-biblial tristesse?

One friend and I started a book-club-of-two at the beginning of the pandemic. We meet twice a week on FaceTime, and same for us :
>The first hour is basically group therapy and catch up, the second hour we talk about the book.
We are still going strong, and we have read so many books.
