end of a good story

I am always impatient to finish a good book. When I was younger I would often times stay up as late as possible to finish a book. I couldn't ever sleep unless the book was over, and I knew if they lived happily ever after. I still find myself tempted to do that even now. However lately I have been disappointed by the endings of many of the books I read. It is almost as if an author has a hard time tying up the lose ends. But when I come across a good book I can't stand not finishing it as fast as possible. That happened the other night. I just had to finish it before I could do anything else. It was good and what I wanted to happened. However I still experience a moment of regret. I wish I had read it slower and absorbed it more. I was sad the book was over. I wanted to read more about the characters and see what else they could get into.

wierd i know...but it was nice to find a book that had an actual ending versus stopping in the middle of a conversation.
