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?

    It’s SUCH a well done book. I read it in 2022 and it’s still one of my favorite standalone fantasy fics

      I enjoyed it so much I went back and read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which I kind of avoided when it first came out. It was an amazing read. Very different from Piranesi but an incredible achievement. Highly recommended.
