Did you ever love a piece too much?

Did you ever like a piece, so much that you, yourself wrote something about it or using it? So admired a piece that you couldn't get it out of your head? Because I sure as hell have.

Yes, the Trojan war series by Glyn Iliffe

King Of Ithaca

The Great Gastby. I love Fitzgerald too much. But I don't ever want to even try and reproduce anything he's ever done because I'm no where near his standard.

I even want a tattoo of a particular quote. That's how serious it is.

I have liked a novel enough that I found my life following it-in a weird way, after more than 15 years of reading the novel 13 times over
