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?
Thoughts on The Winter of Our Discontent? I just finished reading it, and absolutely loved it. Ending had me desperate to read more but wow. Seems like reception is somewhat mixed in general tho so I’m curious to hear your opinion.
I definitely gotta check out East of Eden soon, and more Steinbeck in general. I’m from Salinas and frequent East of Eden Cannabis Co., but have never read the book lmao
Loved it. So desperate, but loving. I also read this out loud to my wife. She loved the book, but not the main character.
