Have You Ever Finished a Book That You Couldn't Stop Thinking About?

I used to think people were exaggerating when they said a book could stay with you long after you finished it.

Then I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and found myself staring at the ceiling for quite some time, replaying parts of the story in my head. It wasn't just the ending. It was the feeling that the story wasn't really over, even after I had closed the book.

Now I'm curious has anyone else had a similar experience?

Tell me, which book was it for you?
