The former really. It's rare these days that the end of a book generates any real excitement for me. Maybe in my youth.
But I don't think I've ever said that reading a book is a completely emotionless experience for me. I've said that I don't really develop an emotional attachment to fictional characters. "Caring about characters" is where I jumped in.
