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 borrowed this book from my daughter and 2 pages in I thought what is this??? 2 chapters in I was … sigh what is going on???

    I love love this book. It’s the most beautiful story I’ve ever read. I had to keep it beside me for a couple of days after finishing it just to randomly open a page and read a couple of paragraphs and revisit times throughout his story.

    Piranesi, the man, is a beautiful soul.
