#blind willow sleeping woman
1st August 2021
During July I finished “Blind Willow Sleeping Woman”. It took me a while because I didn’t read the book for like 2 weeks. I enjoyed the book overall a lot.
Ittaught me lots about people, Japan (like geography), their culture and left me with many thoughts.
July passed by way too fast. Again another month is approaching us.
2nd July 2021
Sharing some snippets of “Birthday Girl” with a quote translated by me (picture on the right, above the bookmark). I already read 10 short stories! They’re bizarre and I reason a lot while I read.
“What I mean is […] that a person, even if all their wishes are granted, can’t be more than they are. This is all.”
I love this quote because it tells me, that we are enough, our being is enough and don’t need “wishes”, something big, to feel or become complete.

Part 2 of my “Murakami Series”
I started reading “Blinde Weide, schlafende Frau” - “Blinde Willow, sleeping woman”. It’s a collection of short stories. I read four, I think, and liked Birthday Girl the most so far! I love how I learn about people, culture and writing!
Feel free to tag me #1i1acbooks!
