Book hangover refers to the moment when you've finished a book and you suddenly return to the real world, but the real world feels incomplete or surreal because you're still living in the world of the book.

 

“醉书”指的是当你读完一本书突然回到现实中，却发觉现实世界是如此残缺不全或不真实，因为你还活在书里的那个世界。

 

The book that enables you to have a book hangover is likely to be a book that you could not bear to finish it or let it go. Only when a book that is well-written, thought-provoking and readable or fits your style can it causes the book hangover. Enchanted¹ by the book, we prefer to slow down our tempo² to read, think and hang around it even after the ending.

 

让你醉的书一定是你舍不得读完和舍不得放下的书。只有当我们感觉到一本书很好、很厚重、很优美、很丰富、很耐读，或者说很合自己口味，很有“众里寻他千百度”的感觉，才会发生这样的阅读感觉，才会放慢速度来阅读、体会、咀嚼、思索、把玩以至于一咏三叹、流连忘返。
