Shook that dao de jing and “xianren” are both from the same school of thought. And Zhuang zi too. I thought dao de jing and zhuang zi are more of Confucianism

Golden and the soldiers should rot in hell or suffer indefinite agony until death comes for them🥰

It’s a whodunnit now

I’m quite confused abt where this book is going bc don’t we know the culprit, the motive and the how-to alr??

“Scholarship, what scholarship?” lol
I feel like giving wild swans a reread to scrutinize if not for the length

The pages abt these people are quite interesting…

Citing the US to determine a place’s sovereignty…

Reading this as a former fan of Nien Cheng and Jung Chang is quite an experience (I dislike them for a different reason (maybe))

The set up is quite similar to “the man who died seven times” w a grandson, grandfather and a will undisclosed until his death

I love “I hate the girls that you like”

I skipped to this story and as the book title says it’s so fucked up lol

My aunt is also 60 but she doesn’t feel this senile and nosy😭😭

The book is only getting weirder with time lol, and Li Tou Min is so close to an actual communist member?!

Seriously????

So cousins marrying cousins was popular and well accepted? This is the third book already

Kinda feel like the inugami curse now especially w the cousin thing

So exciting! I added this into my tbr after watching “Mobius” and the time loop is just the exact same!

Another train wreck scene to witness from Natsuo Kirino lol

Picked this book up again after months and I’m so confused about how we have severed fingers and toes now

It’s so “the forest brims over”

Fifth graders talking abt being in love is probable but pls don’t write abt it with that tone. Fifth grader talking abt potential motherhood is crazy though. Japan’s birth rate has been so low so that’s the reason?

So I’m just curious, is marrying your cousin that common in Japan in the 50s?????

I did not expect to read poems here

Is it a coincidence that I'm also watching a show where the main girl think that her love interest is actually her ancestor??

Reading anything abt death is not good for me given my morbid imagination

This one is more fun so far. Love the kids haha. And I just notice that many people would confuse fictions with non fictions and vice versa

Ugh Hiromi Kawakami is confusing, sometimes I love her books sometimes the weirdness is dialed up too far out of my tolerance

Finally got to the part where Kiriko is taking actions

Half way through and I don’t see the sister plays an active role in the plot, as said by the book description, maybe it’d come later
