Justin Smith-Ruiu's "The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is"
We try so hard sometimes to "summarize" things, but often forget that some longer works are not long just to be long, but are long because the author needs every word to effectively say their piece.
This is a great review of books
and also presents quite nicely the effect of reading
Personally, I love when a book does have a way to summarize it but also contains
a mysterious effect like the one you describe
