Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

I had the opposite with The Witcher, I couldn't force myself to continue reading it. Andrej Sepkowsky is so horny, I was trying to read it for the story, but it read like some bad erotica, with the stories not having incredibly original or compelling ideas anyway.

On the other hand, the His Dark Materials trilogy has had a lasting impact on me, very thoughtful and interesting, not to mention entertaining, book.

For real, like some mermaid's green nipples are described in more detail than the protagonist himself 🙄🙄
