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 read the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy and still think about it. My stepson’s a Marine and I got him to read the books when I told him about the Dark Forest and how to protect yourself agains attack from other species. He took it from a tactical viewpoint and said it was pretty sound.
Also watch the series Tencent made of the first book (it’s on You Tube). It’s excellent.
Oh wow it’s on you tube? I had looked for it but didn’t think to check there. Thanks!!
