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.

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

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.

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)

why do we have so much stuff, why is it so hard to clean all this stuff, why are we so excited to get new stuff, and why does stuff say so much about who we are

I was just thinking of this recently, of how oversaturated the internet feels. There’s too many platforms, content, and ads being shoved down our throats. I don’t know where the internet is headed but I feel like there is a growing general sentiment of fatigue.We’re also discovering ways to combat this fatigue, like lessening our screentime or simplifying our use of the internet (like this platform.) I would love to see this general sentiment dictate where the internet goes instead of the internet telling us what to consume.

I’m suddenly collecting cds again. I want to really have and own the things I love, and cherish them by listening to them again and again.
Instagram recently deleted some of our ig stories, and I realized that we can’t rely on these online platforms as our only way of storing our memories and media. I plan to go through old phone photos and pick which ones to print out.
