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 this for the first time this year and feel the same. I think of it more often than most books, because of how the world is right now. It’s crazy how aware and prescient she was in 1990 and it feels like today we’re just we’re a little farther along in the timeline of this future she lays out. It’s so scary.
