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?

"The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende as a kid
"The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien as a teen
"The Realm of the Elderlings" by Robin Hobb
"The Ea Cycle" by David Zindell
"The Manifold Trilogy" by Stephen Baxter

These books' worlds absorbed me so completely in the most positive way!

Though I must admit I'm a fan of rereading anyway. Don't know how many unknown books I skipped for a reread of know ones. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
