I’m INLOVE with how Murakami writes. I missed Kafka on the Shore so bad, this is much more heartwarming tbh!

Horrifyingly magnificent, Dostoevsky never fails to capture man’s gradual lose of sanity (it makes me so uncomfortable and amazed at the same time!)

Most annotated book I’ve ever read. Every paragraph includes a life lesson from Aurelius that needs to be read, learned, and taught every now and then.

One of the longest and hardest book to read in classic literature. Onto week 3 and I'm proud of my progress.

This book is the foundation of my destruction and rebirth of new founded moral and philosophical ideas. To the devil with this book!

Just casually witnessed how an ex-Russian student commit two counts of premeditated murder without an ounce of remorse. Nihilism at its finest. Confusing at first but amazing, 100 pages in, I'm invested.

Confusing but briliantly mind bending. Kept me hooked this week. Murakami is built diff.

Murakami objectifying women?! In some of his novels, I heard that the author is a misogynist. I thought this was all about magical cats but bro, I didn't expect such aspect of eroticism here.

Brilliant. Eve Babitz, what a woman you are!

It's giving L.A. hedonistic hot girl in the the late sixties in pursuit of pure Western American adventure rather than European-influenced LA leisures.

I hate her wife Edith so much! Stoner is such a cool dad btw, he got that scholar dark academia vibe within him.

Just started reading, finished chapter one, its literally 12am, and I'm invested. There is a sense of comfort, an important value, and an unindentifiable positive nostalgia with being introduced in Stoner's poor yet humble childhood and university life that I want to discover more. Would love to spend my afternoons reading this one.
