In week 2’s Symposium Adrain discussed how satisfaction from an ending was naive.

In a sense he argued that if you were truly satisfied then you wouldn’t need to do other things, because you no longer needed satisfaction.. you wouldn’t read another book, or watch a full season of another tv show.. you’d be content because the ending of this book was fully satisfying.
As we all know, this isn’t the case. I don’t know about you but i’ve definitely read more than one book, and i sure as hell have watch more than one television series.

I don’t agree that it is naive to gain satisfaction from the ending of a book. I think that people read more books because they need to fill in time, they like books and they want to find more satisfaction, why wouldn’t readers look for more satisfaction? Just because people continue to read and indulge in things doesn’t mean they weren’t satisfied before hand, a temporal satisfaction is still satisfaction worth having and worth aiming for.
