First book I read in a long time and it was perfect for where I am at in my life. the writing was so beautiful and understated (maybe? not sure I don’t read that much) and the characters were so vibrant and unbelievable in the most mundane way (good thing)

the back of the book says it’s about a guy in his late 30s reminiscing on his first love in the late 60s- early 70s but it’s about so much more than that. murakami could write about paint drying and he’d find a way to make it poetic. it brings me comfort that people half a century ago felt the way i do now. murakami is infamous for horribly written women tho, so be forewarned. there’s also a movie if reading isn’t your thing but ive never seen it so i can’t speak to its quality

if you start zooming in on a pattern, and the pattern doesn't seem to get more simple as you close in, there's a very good chance you're looking at a fractal shape. my new computer hobby is going on google earth (clean setting - no borders or labels) and zooming into random places to see if i can find these patterns. and they are everywhere. in rivers, mountains, deserts, forests, coastlines and on and on. its genuinely stunning, and a little bit frightening, how the same shapes appear over and over again. the beating heart of iterative processes is plastered all over the globe at every scale. from above, the shape of a forest can look like a leaf, or a neuron, or a blood vessel.
great place to have a zoom is at the bottom of tibet, where theres a sharp cutoff between the icy mountain range and the grassy forests of nepal and bhutan. pic below is of the nile river in southern egypt. happy travels everyone
