What leaves an effect on me, is always, not the highlights of the story or the ending; but how it feels to live and be encapsulated in the book that was written.

I like post-apocalyptic genres, so a somber, sultry atmosphere— and how the environment cradles one in. That’s how I remember a sci-fi novel.

But it’s not only dark grimey worlds that I like. For example, Dune, by far my favorite series, the vast universe it offers, and what the Sandworm symbolizes. The books genuinely live. They have heartbeats.
