Been a while since I’ve updated…. Uhhhhhhh. This book is completely off its rocker. From Murakami’s soft core porn horniness that he can’t seem to get away from - to the horrifying retellings of Mongolian war crimes used as metaphors to the protagonists insecurities.

Great to be back on the Murakami train

Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaa bruh we in for SOME SHIT

YOOOOOOOO WTF

Just read the sequence where Paul rides the Maker - probably one of, if not the most thrilling and captivating chapters of a sci-fi fantasy book I’ve ever read.

LISAN AL-GAIB. MAY THY KNIFE CHIP AND SHATTER! Ts so peak. Frank Herbert is goated for this. I think this marks the end of Denis’ first Dune movie. Gonna rewatch shortly.

“Metzger rushed in to find Oedipus rolling around, trying to get back on her feet, amid a sticky miasma of fragrant lacquer. ‘Oh for Pete’s sake,’ he said in his Baby Igor voice. The can, hissing malignantly, bounced off the toilet and whizzed by Metzger’s right ear, missing by maybe a quarter of an inch. Metzger hit the deck and cowered with Oedipa as the can continued its high-speed caroming…”
