Status Updates From Lov na divlju ovcu

P.126: "...To get irritated is to lose our way of life." "That sounds like a religious interpretation of a traffic jam if there ever was one." "I'm a Christian. I don't go to church, but I've always been a Christian." "Is that so? Don't see any contradiction between being a Christian and being the chauffeur for a major right-wing figure?"
I laughed so hard reading this part. Hillarious😭🤣🤣

P.81: " Time really us one big continuous cloth, no? We habitually cut out pieces of time to fit us, so we tend to fool ourselves into thinking that time is our size, but it really goes on and on."

Loving it so far, but how exactly did Murakami think this book wasn’t political? It’s like saying Citizen Kane isn’t political. Maybe he didn’t intend it to be political but it’s clearly influenced by his internalization of politics and media. I’m also loving the mystery so far and excited to see where this journey goes.
