I absolutely adore Japanese fiction. I think there's just something so wonderfully human and real about the way Japanese authors write and the stories they tell. Not all ofc, Murata's Earthlings and a lot of Murakami are straight awesomely weird but stuff like days of the Morisaki bookshop, before the coffee gets cold, Convenience Store Woman, just wonderful I think.

Yass, Before the Coffee Gets Cold is wonderful! 💕☕

very much agree! hahaha murata writes some bizarre books but i still love them, and i am totally with you on all those other books mentioned, i think they all have this quiet cosy feel to them

April has been a total wash out for me. I haven't finished one single book... though I've started 3 or 4. I'm about 50 pages in to "White Nights" by Dostoyevsky and am really loving it so far

We have to thank Emily Fox for promoting I who have never known men to the masses. As for speech marks, Saramago didn't use them either and it was such a pleasure reading him, mainly due to how the reading flowed, at least in spanish. I'm not sure if he was the first to do that, but I guess it does require a high skill to pull it off.

@katerinareem 2 ай бұрын

omg i had no idea another booktuber promoted the book! love what the power of youtube can do! and interesting, i’ve never read a saramago book but im intrigued to now pick one up! even with sally rooney i just hate when there’s no speech marks

That's a great lineup, and I've been especially excited to read Bookshop. Sad to hear it's a bit corny, but I'm looking forward to a chill read.

@katerinareem 2 ай бұрын

thank you!! tbf it’s only a short book so it’s a quick read too!

I also think that as a non-japanese reader I lost some nostalgia/elements about morisaki bookshop, they talk about specific writers and books and I'm sure they must evoke emotions in readers that recognise them.

@katerinareem 2 ай бұрын

true !!! this was totally another point which maybe why i didn’t connect with the book as much, some of the japanese references went completely over my head which is a shame bc im sure they would’ve added a whole new layer to the novel
