Gegenstandswortgemachenheitlich: Two Words Need Enwordening!

COMPOUND NOUN!It is a busy time in the life of the creation of necessary German words. Writes one fine reader: "So my friend and I were talking today about how we were both a little sad when Jenna Fischer and her ex-husband who made that awesome horror movie and whose brother was Kirk on Gilmore Girls broke up. There should totally be a German word for feeling stupid about feeling sad when celebrities you like break up." Yes there should be! And?

Another wise reader write in: "The feeling when you're in the middle of a great novel and you don't bring it with you to the laundromat/on the train, etc.? Buchenmetrofreude?"

Do help.
