Eh, ada kardinal Indonesia nongol

Alatas, an Indonesian, was sitting halfway down the aisle, on the right-hand side. He was one of those who had taken money from Tremblay.

Baru nonton animasinya Totto-chan. Remuk hati saya. Perlu terapi baca sesuatu.

Terapinya: makin ngeremukin hati sendiri 12x lipat.

"....kenapa semua orang dewasa memiliki raut wajah yang sedih?"

........................

Senangnya berada di usia kalian. Di mana rasa simpati kalian pada orang lain begitu jujur dan tulus. Bagiku, sulit untuk memikirkan orang lain tanpa alasan yang masuk akal.

.....yah, memang benar sih yang di bawah itu.

Aravena is finished with The Cranford Novellas (Girlebooks Classics)
Finished My Lady Ludlow (the third and last story in the collection). Similar structure to Cranford, but with a slightly more memorable narrator and much more problematic central character. Also the richest in terms of themes and character growth, hence it became my favourite in this collection.

Finished Mr Harrison's Confession (the second story in the collection).

Yet another lovely story, felt more brisk than Cranford, but also has similar charming slice-of-life vibe and great supporting cast. Less poignant/touching, and I kinda wish the main character ended up with another character romance-wise, but overall still very enjoyable to read.

Finished Cranford (the first story in the collection).

Took me almost half a year (mostly b/c of the format, I wish I have physical copy of this instead of PDF), but I actually enjoyed it a good deal. The kind of period Western slice-of-life that I rarely found, with amusing characters who slowly grew on me throughout the story.

Nyengir kuda baca twist lucu tapi manis di akhir Bab 3. Novelnya sejauh ini lebih berasa slice-of-life episodik ketimbang misteri pembunuhan, tapi saya sangat nggak keberatan...

Iris was too languid and too used to Mrs. Drake's discursive style to inquire why the mention of Dr. Gaskell should have reminded her aunt of the local grocer, though had she done so, she would have received the immediate response: "Because the grocer's name is Cranford, my dear".

That amazing moment of coincidence when a book referenced another book that you're also in the middle of reading.

Ingat, Maya: hal-hal yang membuat kita tersentuh pada usia dua puluhan belum tentu sama dengan hal-hal yang membuat kita tersentuh pada usia empat puluhan, begitu pula sebaliknya. Hal ini benar dalam urusan buku, juga kehidupan.

Mati konyol gara2 kelamaan nongkrong di WC.

Ngakak miris sekaligus waswas karena baca cerpen yang ini sambil nongkrong di WC sendiri juga.

Seorang tuna netra tahu celah dan liku rumahnya sendiri. Ia akrab dengan rumah itu sebagaimana ia mengenal tubuhnya sendiri. Bagi seorang yang matanya sehat, rumah tidaklah bernyawa. Tapi bagi seorang tuna netra, rumah itu hidup. Dia bisa berdetak.

Jadi ingat seorang teman saya pernah membuat perumpamaan yang hampir sama. Menarik dan masuk akal sekali.

Dan akhirnya, bagi hatimu yang berkabut dan terluka, bahkan seekor jangkrik lonceng akan tampak seperti seekor belalang. Jika hari itu datang, di mana tampak bagimu bahwa dunia ini hanya penuh berisi belalang, aku akan berpikir betapa sayang jika kau tak punya cara untuk mengingat permainan cahaya malam ini, ketika namamu tertulis dalam huruf hijau oleh lenteramu yang indah di atas dada si gadis kecil.

Kata pengantarnya Bernard Batubara bagus sekali! Bukan hanya mengilustrasikan seperti apa bukunya dan membakar semangat membaca, tapi juga bikin saya penasaran pada karyanya BB sendiri; caranya merangkai kata-kata (dan penulis-penulis yang ia sebutkan) benar-benar pas selera saya.

A quiet and peaceful Lebaran Tea Party with the Uncle of Horror, Auntie of Mystery, and Grandpa of Science-Fiction.

Simply three of the most influential fiction writers of all-time, and anyone who's a fan of their respective genre owe it to themselves to read these legends' work at least once.

"Mendeteksi medan elektromagnetik."


Wkwk, doyan saya sama humornya buku ini, nggak begitu kentara mau ngelawak tapi beneran lucu.

So many tragic and pointless deaths.

There was an aphorism he'd heard claimed by a Defence Minister of some nation, "We must defend ourselves according to our opponent's ability, not their intentions."

Such a chillingly accurate and unnerving way to reflect human psyche in times of constant pressure and paranoia.

In such a hellishly dark story, Yutaka's description about the girl she loves was as pure & authentic as it gets.

"When she looked drowsy and rested her cheeks on her hands, she was pretty.

When she was watering flowers by the classroom window, the way she touched the leaves, she was pretty.

When she was hanging out during her breaks... holding her stomach as she burst out laughing, she was so pretty."

Shogo has the best (and most heart-breaking) lines.

"Loving someone always requires you not to love others."

"Well, the good aren't always saved, and this game is no exception... but I respect someone who stands by their conscience, even at the risk of failing and being rejected by everyone. They tried to believe in their classmates... we should commend that. We couldn't do that."

"Manusia adalah makhluk yang aneh. Dia punya perasaan malu kalau perbuatan jeleknya ketahuan orang lain, tetapi ia sama sekali tidak malu pada Tuhan yang bisa melihat setiap perbuatannya, baik yang terwujud maupun yang cuma dalam hati."

Gozali ini, selain detektif, piawai juga jadi penasihat spiritual.

|Tenang, tenang," kata Gozali, memberikan isyarat agar Nadia duduk kembali. Suara orang jangkung yang berwajah monyet ini walaupun tidak keras, namun sarat wibawa.

Buset.... hahaha.

Tapi saya senang S. Mara Gd memakai tokoh detektif yang berpenampilan.... errm... 'melawan arus'' seperti ini. Unik aja rasanya.
