What I need to read. I love immersing myself in books and I do this with marking quotes with my sticky notes and writing them down in this book which I use exclusively for quotes (of any kind).
How I love my books. Not all are pictured. I bought more again. Reading more books of authors I don’t know is so fascinating! Reading different books by one author is just as interesting too!
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.
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.
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!
May was filled with reading, which I love and do way too little.
I finished reading the short story collection “after the quake” and finally (!!) finished “the wind-up bird chronicle”. I just enjoy bizarre stories. Now I can read on “Kafka on the Shore”. I put many post-it notes in this book because I like so many quotes. Or they make me think. Or both! I’m happy that I have time to read!
NAME THE BOOK CHALLENGE: DAY 4- [WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR? NAME A BOOK]
At the moment I can honestly say it’s Haruki Murakami’ books I love. The one I’m reading is called “The Wind-up Bird Chronicle”. I picked it up so many times but didn’t finish it yet. Still I love the way Murakami writes.
As I was posting several times already. This is the book I finished a few days ago. I really enjoyed it. It was very thrilling. But still a light/easy read.
This non fiction book was gifted to me by my homeroom. I have been interested in Egyptian history for years now! I also love watching documentaries about it! (The recent discoveries in Saqqara? Phenomenal!)
I finally finished this book (yesterday actually). It took me a while to pick it up again but finished it all together in about 6 days. It was such a good crime novel. I want to read more of Christie’s!
