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?

    A wild sheep chase by Murakami, because of the writing, the characters, the weird story. Loved it. And war & peace. Still really enjoyed the story, but I guess I remember it more because of how long it took me to finish (my version was split in four volumes and it took me about half a year in between other books)
