There's an honesty you can get out of a child's perspective that allows a writer to shine a light on what life is like if you ignore all the fluff that is fun to read here add to it a genuinely entertaining narrator giving a similar self-confidence and wit to colden hollfield and it's quite a treat
recommended by a friend who loves to ride his bike, a quick & enjoyable read on my burgeoning quest to understand the mindset of endurance activity lovers. what is life if not an endurance sport? bonus points for the insights about his writing practice. ps this is the first murakami book iโve ever read, i truly have no idea what any of his other books are like
An insane and unhinged take on the classic cross-country runaway story โ the protagonists are more antiheroes than heroes, but you root for them all the way until the last page. The plot is refreshing, the journey you take with Teal and Cody is a blast, and the writing is exceptional. I loved the seemless transition of perspectives, often mid-chapter or even mid-sentence, as well as dream-like explorations of characters who werenโt actually with the leads. Teenager is one of the few books Iโve read that I consider a must read.
A great novel thatโs quick (if a little "difficult") to read. Brutal and cautionary, it feels like Sam is looking at an alternate path he *could* have taken, but where he zigged, his main character zagged and we are left with the real, funny Sam Tallent and the fictional, equally funny but twice as doomed Billy Ray Schafer
I used to spend like 5+ hours a day on twitter and what I found helped me get it down was deleting it off my phone and only looking at it on my computer. Helped me cut down on time without cutting of completely cause there is still stuff I like about the app.
Whether it's a coffees shop, a gym, or maybe some organization's events, if you're always there people will eventually notice and start reaching out to you
