WTH GOING ON

wthellie

im reading this book in dutch and the way i'm reading every word cautiously is frying me.

Easy to read, yet taking my time to read in between the lines. I’ll have to admit that I don’t get it all the time. Also very different from the genre I like, but i’ll finish it for the sake of our bookclub.

loveeee this book so much, kga tradwife worden

been loving the writing style

ayo i wanna end this book, maar ook niet.. how bout i read the rest tomorrow in one sitting lmao

Terug actief lmao, gisteren echt in een random mood om te lezen dus hier zijn we dan 👍

"Kino" i really liked this one. don't think i can explain why but my favorite story so far. it wasn't very dramatic as the others were yet i couldn't stop reading it. only by the end of the chapter i realised what it truly was about. could somewhat (loosely) be relatable if u look at it from a certain pov. i'm starting to appreciate the author for keeping my questions regarding anything in this book unanswered.

I feel like I don't understand the message the author is trying to convey. But this book contains a lot of cheating. Safe to say, it's a Japanese book after all. Well-organized man dates multiple married woman at once only to find out he fell in love with one of them. Woman was unfaithful to him so man starved himself to death. Is it that I can't empathize with the man because our views on love are too different?

Second story left me with more questions. Side character's (Kitaru) way of thinking in terms of treating a girlfriend seemed odd at first. Near the end, I wished the author revealed Kitaru's reasons for acting that way. The protagonist and I shared the same opinion. He didn't feel important since his (love) life wasn't discussed in depth. Felt like he was there to provide both sides of the relationship to the reader.

Read it on the train. First story out of seven is relatable since it covers infidelity. I like the short story format. Book is able to broaden my perspective on the matter. Through two characters getting to know each other in a car ride, we get to relive an experience of the main character as he's telling it. Story was so compelling that I wanted to keep on reading. An open ending I enjoyed.

Had bijna Babel gekocht in Luddites, maar ik had schrik dat ik niet zou kunnen commiten aan een boek van 500+ pagina's. :(

ik wil verder lezen maar moet even btcgc prioritisen

lovely book. hate what happens in it. women >>>>>>>>>>> men. rooting for Kim Jiyoung. get that ₩1500 coffee. definitely a nice book to read on the train (ondanks de misogyny en m'n wil om soms te schreeuwen van woede). leest snel. it was wonderful. love you Kim Jiyoung 🍚
