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?
The Hollow Places, by T.Kingfisher. This book is a horror story that you spend most of it either laughing or freaked out. There are a lot of books people have listed in this post that I have read and loved. But this was the first book that angered me. When asked to leave a review I wrote, “Why has no one ever told me about this book?! How can this hilariously terrifying book exist and no one ever told me? What else am I missing out on?” Then I read a different book by T.Kingfisher and didn’t like it that much, so not all of her books are amazing, I guess. Anyway, read THIS book! But not in the dark, or by yourself. You’ve been warned.
