There are books that I have read when I was 17 that don’t hit the spot anymore.
I’m not talking about teen books, actual adult novels like Anna Karenina. My heart used to skip a beat for every piece of golden nugget in AK, was constantly amazed by Tolstoy’s skills and ability to read the reality around us.
Tried picking it up after ten years and it doesn’t feel the same.
It’s not like I have read a lot since then.
I don’t care for any explanations of me ‘growing up’, I just want to engineer myself to bring back those old reactions, for now and forever. How do I do that?
