I think the answer closest to the truth has its roots in modern psychology and the concept of Thrill of the Hunt and in the sociological precept of.....

A similar pattern is described by people who are addicted to behaviors, such as shopping and gambling. When the thrill of a purchase wears off, and feelings of dissatisfaction set in, the shopper may feel the urge to make another purchase. In the same way, a gambler may want to re-live the excitement felt just before a win or loss, by betting again. The intensity of the comedown is part of why shopaholics and problem gamblers end up in debt.

The thrill was purely in the hunt and the need to acquire - once gotten all that's left is anticlimax or inertia.

 

You need another grail to focus on, but quick.

Yea, you're content, no longer hungering. After enough repetitions of hunting like crazy and finally finding over the course of hundreds or thousands of books over many years, more complex words like "ennui" or "blase" describe your condition better.

An incomprehensible, and probably unwanted, moment of sanity which will

rapidly disappear as a new grail looms on the horizon.

(with all due apologies to Lord George Gordon Byron)

 

The thrill is gone, the charm is flown!

Thus it is with comics' fitful fever:

We madly smile at the books we own:

Delirium is our best deceiver.

 

Each lucid interval of thought

Recalls the woes of hoarding's charter;

And he that collects as wise men ought,

But lives, as saints have died, a martyr.
