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 think I’ll have to go with In Cold Blood. I felt my heart take an absolute pummeling at so many points with that book. There I am, 34 year old beardy bus driver, glad to be wearing sunglasses because it’s hiding the fact that my eyes are watering from what I read before I started my route.
