bailed

I‘m a Murakami fan, but I just could not get into this story. Bailing, but I may try it again when I‘m feeling smarter.

Libraries, jazz, literary references, ambiguity, cats. A very Murakami-esque novel but not one of my favorites. If you love his writing you will probably appreciate it. But some of the themes, reality vs dreams, consciousness, loneliness, love etc are tackled in better ways in his other novels.

3.5 stars. First read of 2025

BarbaraBB That‘s too bad. He used to be so good 1w

JenP @BarbaraBB I did still enjoy it but just not as much as some of his other works 1w

BarbaraBB I already felt that way about

sarahbarnes Bummer, I was excited about this one. Agree with @BarbaraBB that I miss reading his earlier works. Although I did like IQ84. 1w

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I liked it too, I read them in three parts soon after their publication. Maybe that‘s why I was a bit disappointed by the ending, I had been anticipating it for a long time. 1w

JenP @sarahbarnes I think it‘s still worth reading. If you liked his earlier works. It was fun picking up on the references and nods to other works. And I still found it to be an enjoyable read and a large part of it centers around a library so I did love that 1w

SilversReviews Love this cover!! 1w

Take a Stand, Rosa Parks | Peter Roop

pick

A great nonfiction book that I would have in my classroom. It is an inspirational story about Rosa Parks who stayed in her seat on the bus instead of moving when asked.

I hope I'm not too late to play this
2/ City and It's Uncertain Walls - what a brilliant title, just caught my eye, so I'm intrigued
1/ that would be a room with ambient lighting, a fire going on the background, the one that crackles, coffee and a stack of books, yeah, a nice dream 😂 reality where ever I can fit it in

I'm not really a Murakami fan, per se. The only book I've read by him thus far is Norwegian Wood, which I did enjoy! But his newest book apparently deals with a library, and I couldn't resist that! 🤭📚🩷
