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 really liked 1Q84 until the like very end it got a little weird (still liked it though!). Book that’s stuck with me this year is East of Eden and Count of Monte Cristo. Jesus Christ these books blew my mind. If you want another epic you must do Count of MC. If you want another Murakami I highly suggest Wind up Bird Chronicles it fucking slaps

      Wind up Bird was what got me into Murakami!! And Count of MC has been on my recommended & TBR list ever since I was a kid 😅 I’ll be motivated to tackle the tome some day!
