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 Annihilation last year. It was unlike anything I had previously read. It had a few problems but I really liked it! It stuck with me. Authority was harder to get through but continued the story decently. I did not have the capacity for Acceptance at the time. I want to give it another go in future and read all three. I did read “Borne” by Vandermeer this year and again it was a new experience lol. Stepping into his worlds takes some fortitude and a suspension of disbelief! You will absolutely have to “just go with it” lmao and trust you will get to the end with no idea how. 😆
