It does indeed stay with you.

I read a few other books about WWI, fiction and non-, but none has stayed with me the way “All Quiet” has. Sold many over the years in the bookshop, but with no connection. Now when somebody brings it to the counter, they’re lucky to get away in 5 minutes once I start talking about the book.
