About to finish what everyone calls Murakami’s magnum opus, and I do like it! But the way everyone glazes this thing, Idk I expected something revolutionary
I just finished Americanah by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie, and it was a 10/10. The only writer whose descriptions of place + atmosphere are so vivid that I like the sentences as much as the exposition.
Next on the hit list is: - Letters to Milena by Franz Kafka - Their Eyes were watching God - Zora Neale Hurston - Chasing Cool by Noah Kerner and Gene Pressman - Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin - the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

🦋I can be somewhat flighty with my books (reading based on mood) so usually have an extensive currently-reading pile which I’ll work to finish slowly until they’re due at the library:
Sag harbor, colson whitehead
Indelicacy, Amina Cain
Bad blood, John carreyrou
The other Americans, laila lalami
Fear of flying, Erica jong
Travelers to unimaginable lands, dasha kiper
Once I’ve worked through those, id like to read: james, percival Everett The premonition, banana yoshimoto What are you going through, sigrid nunez

💻what a time to be depressed in middle school. my uniform was flower crowns, combat boots, a skirt, tights and a graphic t-shirt. I thought my tumblr was so fucking sick—I copied some code on the backend so Born to die by Lana del Rey played and the mouse was a skull.
So funny that at the time I was terminally unique, now this shared experience is something you can practically smell on early 20 year old gays.
