that kind of all-in enthusiasm for something specific is the kind of thing I'm super here for
YES. Same. It's the same way I'm really, really into books with a strong, specific sense of place; I can read an entire book on the basis of nothing but that, if it does it well enough.
... I mean, to be fair, I generally do need something else going on, particularly for a reread. And I do tend to be a person who latches onto characters and will read an otherwise bland book if I'm really enjoying the people. But specificity and premise can carry the majority of a book for me if it's vivid enough.
