I probably won't read it for a few months, have too many other books planned. But it is good to know I have a good contemporary book in my future.

But nope, can't find such a word in German. Lots of great words for every type of bad feeling for every reason.<br /><br />But not so much for good feelings felt due to sharing anything, not just books. Mutgefuhl which means compassion is the closest to good feelings for others.<br /><br />Maybe an expert in German could weigh in on this.
