Have any of you experienced this? It’s genuinely like a mini form of mind torture.
Books aren’t like movies or tv, or even like music. Just a few key plot points and with some work, you can easily find a movie you’ve forgotten the title to. Music? You remember any lyrics or even the tone, in 2025, you’ll be able to find the song you can’t remember.
But books? There’s 200,000 released every year and there’s a very good chance, even if you bought it a big shelf book store, that you and maybe 500 other people on the planet read that book. Your chances of finding a book that isn’t well known based on some plot points or characters or even a book cover are slim to none. And like I said, it’s torturous.
There are reddit subs dedicated to it, ChatGPT will look high and low for you, but 99% of the time, you’re screwed. And you’re left to go the rest of your life with this incomplete knowledge.
I read a great book in high school and have been trying to find it for legitimately a decade. The fact that I’m never going to find it, no matter how much I look, kills me.
So my question is, has this ever happened to you? Where you forgot a book title and have never been able to find it?
