4. Re-Read Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, or James Bond Novels
Sometimes, the only way to fix that hole in your heart is to replace it with something new or forgotten. Luckily for you, there are thousands upon thousands of books across the world to be read. You don't even have to invest into something new, if you don't feel like it. They're still making Sherlock Holmes and James Bond movies, and there's a total of eight Harry Potter films! It's almost like you don't have to sacrifice anything at all, as you'll be thrust into new worlds with exciting, eccentric, and mysterious characters, carefully woven into narratives oft considered literary classics. It truly may be the end of an era, but whatever deity or universal happenstance you believe in is there to provide for you in your time of most dire need. Maybe you could try reading Dracula for the first time, or check out Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. You should be excited! There's so much out there that you can rediscover!

Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
