If you’re anything like me, you probably read a lot of books and forget a lot about them as well after reading them (also see: being ADHD)
Is there one specific book whose plot, characters, setting you just can’t get out of your mind and still think about today even when in the midst of another book?
For me, it’s 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I think due to the sheer volume of this book (clocked in over 1000 pages) I was so invested in Tengo and Aomame’s stories that it’s quite impossible to forget them quickly. This is also why I prefer long novels, because they stick around in my memory for longer!
So what book is still stuck with you?
I’m obsessed with Sakura Murata’s works especially Earthlings.
Also her short story “A First Rate Material “.
Her names actually Sayaka Murata. I loved her convenience store women so much!!
Just added Earthlings to my tbr yesterday. Sounds interesting!
I also read Earthlings this year and I think I have thought about it almost everyday or at least once a week. It was a wild tragic interesting ride that I’m not sure I would even recommend to most people but it was so good I want to
I love ❤️ her too
