  1. Do y'all know those books that are just... melancholy? They feel like homesickness, like a memory, like an echo. They aren't sad, that's not what I'm saying. They just hit on a completely different level. 

    There's this yearning to them and a desperate sort of longing that you feel when you read them, especially as you finish them. Each book feels like a collection of Moments and you connect with them on an incredibly personal level. 

    I feel like these books would be different for everyone, but for me it's The Raven Cycle, The Scorpio Races, parts of Words of Radiance, Piranesi, and Ender's Shadow. 

    I recently saw a thing about liminal spaces and for some reason these books feel like liminal spaces. I don't have a clue why.

    I just wondered if anyone could relate

      Interesting. I think whenever I happen to pick up a Harry Potter book, I kind of get that weird feeling. They are connected to my past, since for a while I was pretty obsessed with the whole world of it and knew a lot of trivia and such. Now... I'm not the same person. That's something I'm coming to realize about myself now vs. how I was a few years ago. And so seeing the vaguely familiar words and sentences now just feels a little off.

      I get that feeling for Ender's Shadow, and also for parts of Name of the Wind, and probably a couple others too but those are the first that come to mind. To me, they're like comfort books, places I can go that will always be the same even when everything else changes.
