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?

    That’s funny. The voice of Borne was one of the only things I did not like. Still, really cool. Gonna read Annihilation once it’s available at the library.

    Someone sold me on Borne by saying “there’s a giant, flying bear and he does not care to explain how or why he can fly.”
