I’m reminded of those miserable days.

Feels uncannily timely to read this right now.

Ughhhh

A lot more than I’d expected

It’s only right that I begin my year with this, wandering the streets of New York ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

It’s like he plucked these straight out of my mind.

“… put to flight by the pale sign traced above the curtain by the raised finger of dawn.”

I’m actually stunned by how beautiful this imagery this.

When will this be over

Seated and ready

I always try to be a patient reader but I'm nearly half way through the existing volumes and I'm still wondering when I will finally get to the good part

I'm really powering through this y'all, my reward is within sight.

It's kinda crazy how fast I'm going through this. After 3 years, Murakami's writing seems dryer than I remembered it.

It's been 6 years.

Truly sickening and infuriating

Đọc cái này cho não nghỉ sau cuốn quái vật kia

With the benefit of hindsight, history is full of irony.

“—if a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don’t think, ‘oh, I love this picture because it’s universal.’ ‘I love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.’ That’s not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. It’s a secret whisper from an alleyway. Psst, you. Hey kid. Yes you.”

Always makes me emotional.

I've been absolutely slaving (when I have the time to) through this book. But, the history is always the most fun part.

"Becoming a scientist is necessarily an act of profound commitment to the scientific system and the scientific world view."

This is so interesting because I've increasingly grown to view science as another religion.

Yes this girl just came back from seeing "Oppenheimer" and now for the next rewatch several history lessons are due

All day today I thought, absurdly, of rereading "Austerlitz" even though not 24 hours had passed, even went so far as reading the foreword and the first page.

It's simply too soon. So here I am, picking you up again, to forget and be immersed.

Hoping one day Kore-eda Hirokazu will publish a book and then I can read it knowing it's purely him and not someone else's interpretation of him.

Kept telling myself not to get our hopes up and I wouldn't be disappointed if we couldn't make it to CI but now I'm actually pretty bummed out lollllllll

Their misgivings and heartwrenching outcry seem almost unfathomably dramatic to us now. Almost.

"Một mệnh lệnh đã làm những hình thù lặng lẽ kia trở thành kẻ thù của chúng tôi; giờ đây nếu muốn, một mệnh lệnh khác lại có thể biến họ thành bạn của chúng tôi."

"Không uống nước. Tôi làm cách mạng nửa đời, tôi cũng bắt đầu bán máu rồi."

Mới được mấy trang đã như truyện kinh dị, đúng là Diêm Liên Khoa

Quyết chờ đến khi lên máy bay mới mở bát đầu năm

Năm nào cũng đặt 50 và chưa một năm nào hoàn thành =))))

Give it a fucking break lmao
