cozy & warm yet heartbreaking. one of the reviews puts it perfectly: the writing is deceptively simple yet refuses to let go of you. One of those books that (for me) feel nostalgic even on the first read
Murakami this murakami that, banana yoshimoto is where it’s at. Granted this is the only work of hers I’ve read so far but I absolutely loved it. It was my in-flight entertainment on the way to Japan and I got so emotional that I didn’t mind the turbulence. I‘ve read a few works from Japanese authors but this one is my favorite.
less talk of ears, but equally abstract in mood like Murakami. If you like the crime genre, In The Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami is excellent (pacing, mood etc.). Turned my day to night.
A classic That simply can’t get better. i sat outside a chocolate shop on a chilly day w my brother. ordered some cheesecake & chocolate mousse. i sipped my tea & the host showed us the blankets they have for guests sitting in the cold. “European style” she said. U guys i am itching to somehow top this tea experience but it’ll be hard ❤️
