🦋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

📖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
