For some reason, I rarely experience that situation. I know which book I'm going to read days before I finish my current one, and the weird thing is that, at that point, I don't actually want to finish it.
Strange enough, I hate finishing books, for some reason. I like starting a new one, getting into the story and getting to know the but then, at around 70% or so, I have often guessed the rest of the story, the arc, and often the ending as well. Because I'm more often correct than not, at that point, my reading gets slower and slower... and slower... which causes me to need as three times as long for the last 30% as I needed for the first 70%.
Also, very strange, if a character that I like *a lot* dies during the book, I instantly get the urge to not finish it. At that point, the book often lies unread for a week or more, until the urge to have nothing unfinished in my life takes over and I finish it.
