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 am listening to pet sematary on audiobooo read by Michael c Hall for the second time this year because it affected me so much i can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve read a lot of stephen king, and he is my favorite author, but this is the one that sticks out above all others. The movie was one my absolute favorites when i was a kid, but the book has changed me in ways i can’t explain. Highly recommend. I can’t believe he almost didn’t publish it.

    Edit: hall
