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 that book years ago and it felt to me like “what if David Lynch was a horror novelist.” Overall I quite liked it, and it was a quick read.
I heard it became a movie but reviews on this subreddit were not kind to it.
The movie was…weird. I haven’t read the book, I suspect it works better in print!
