Two months passed. It was well into autumn. The air was crisp and cool, and the leaves of the Japanese maples had turned the brilliant crimson of a geisha's painted lips. On the grounds of Tokyo University Medical School, in the neighborhood of the pond made famous by Natsume Soseki's novel Sanshiro, a tall, remarkably good-looking youth was loitering about gazing at the scenery.
"Really, it is. But tell me, who is the murderer?"
"I can't talk about that right now." Tsunetaro sounded nervous, as if someone might be listening in.
"Why is that? Oh, I see, now that you mention it, this really isn't the sort of thing you can discuss on the telephone. Where are you now, at Peony? I'll come to meet you right away."

What will happen now? ?
What do they mean "and adapted "?!
“In the manic phase, Kenzo would feel on top of the world—When he was depressed, though, he became convinced that his talents were mediocre, his existence worthless, and his dissertation a total waste of time. The wisest thing, he would think at those emotional low tides, would be to throw himself under a train, because there was nothing for him to contribute, and no place in the world where he could ever feel at home.” 🖤
I‘ve missed you Litsy. Here‘s a few books I‘ve picked up. Been going through some things internally and I just really need an escape. ❤️
I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday🍃
I can attest that this is an accurate description of lunchtime sounds.
Trying to stay off the internet during my lunch break because it only leads to uneasiness about everything. So Japanese mystery it is.
It's hard to believe a book about tattoos set in Japan wouldn't be a slam dunk for me but 11 (very short) chapters in and I'm bored. I have no connection to the characters yet and am struggling. With so many books on my TBR I'm not sure if I should read on or shelve it for later.
#funphotofriday these are my go to bookmarks. The first being one of only two actual bookmarks I own. The second is a sticker from probably my favorite clothing company and the third is an insert that was in a CD from a Japanese metal band I listen to.
so-soInteresting and enjoyable but very much a titillation piece for tone.
