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?
There’s a few but if I was pushed to pick one, it’s Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
This is mine, too. I finished it in May and was just thinking about it today.
I felt a hole in my reading list and picked up Lonesome Dove this summer but the dialect put me off. Maybe I’ll pick it up again over the holidays.
