Oh no, Saul, what did you do? 😱😱

Apa kabar? Terima kasih buat yang sudah mengikuti akun ini, semoga pertemanan virtual kita bermanfaat. Saya udah selesai vakum baca buku selama 4 bulan, ngikutin jadwal PPKM. Walau ada kolpri, tapi ngga dibaca karena memang ngga antusias sama materinya. And it's okay to read for novelty! Because sometimes life gets in our way and leaves us drained. Or simply because life gets boring during pandemic. Hehehe..

"Mestinya aku tidak membohongi diri sendiri, atau orang lain. .... Mestinya aku tidak berpura-pura segalanya sempurna."

"Mereka harus mati, .... karena jika kami membiarkan mereka hidup, mereka akan kembali mengangkat senjata melawan kami. Itu adalah logika maut sebuah konflik yang sejak lama telah meracuni dunia kita. ...."

Just took a peek of the unread pages and the story takes a 'funny' turn.

"Kematian telah menjadi seuntai kalungan bunga di leherku."

"Memiliki minpi dan memahaminya lebih baik daripada berdoa tetapi bersikap masa bodoh. Apakah kau setuju, Ibnu Yakub?"

/spoiler/ ...did Haruna 'torture' her own daughter due to her mental illness?

Ternyata 'brongfit' yang sering disebut di acara berita JTV diambil dari kata 'bromfiet'. Artinya sepeda motor. Sampai sini Raden Saleh pulang ke Jawa dan ada bumbu² gerakan kiri dari cerita tahun 1926.

Impressive! I wonder how Pak Banu created Raden Saleh's characterization and built the emotional connection to Dipanegara.

Yok bisa yok nyelesain buku ini

Halo, selamat ibadah puasa bagi yang menjalankan! Semoga daftar buku kalian dalam Goodreads Challenge bisa segera bertambah. Sehat selalu untuk semua!

I've complained about Ogai Mori's Vita Sexualis which was too tame, then proceeded to be annoyed by this book because of its weird, sexual circumstances.

Though it was promised as a story of sexual exploration, this book is quite tame. The narrative is adorned with soft accentuation.

I was looking for the film tie-in, English edition of this book in Goodreads, but there isn't any. This edition is the most similar I got of. Mine was first published in 2006. Too lazy to add another edition into GR's database.

Reached page 700! It kinda threw me off when the story moved from Mataram gemah ripah loh jinawi to gross, busy old Betawi.
