▲ 5 r/audiobooks
When I'm listening to an audiobook I resonate with, that moves and engages me, I sometimes find myself crying after the last lines are spoken.
I don't really know why. Maybe my tears are a combination of sadness- that the book is over and there's that little niggling fear I won't find anything better (but I always do- or at least as good).
But also, my tears are an expression of gratitude to the author and the voice actors. An acknowledgment and appreciation to the people who created an experience that moved me so very much. Sometimes words can't convey enough- so we have tears.
Anyone else feel this way when finishing a book?
