WUBC is a lot more of the typical, magical realism style of Murakami than Norwegian Wood. it's a great book, maybe his best. my favorite is 1Q84 which is probably peak Murakami but it's his longest book so if you like WUBC check that one out too. also really enjoyed his latest novel, though it wasn't that popular

Murakami is one of my favorite authors. I just really love his writing style and prose. there's something about it that's so relaxing. perfect to lie around the house on a rainy day with a cup of coffee

You nailed his prose with that description. Something so...breezy about it

Started the tattooer of Auschwitz the other day, brutal so far :

I’ve lost all interest in reading and I feel like my life is over

You @STUFF?
Alternating/discovering hobbies and taking a pause might help

In my past life yes

I looked at the sections we have here and thought Wow I’m not interested in any of those things

I’m going to read through old fashion magazines I have and try to listen to more podcasts around literature. How do you kill/fill time when you’re fugue?

Picked up some heat from the bookstore today.

American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
Underworld - Don DeLillo
On Writing - Stephen King

I guess variety is the key. Gym, trying to cook somethin' wit gf since i'm dumb in kitchen, going to youtube and watching some tips. Also when insomnia hits me hard i'm goin' runnin'.
Is difficult to merge all these since I've started university but it's funny trying. It depends from day and day but i'm always attempting to find some time to listen music since there are so many albums out there.

American Psycho is top tier, probs one of my favourite books written, enjoy it

You’ve developed really good coping mechanisms, I’m proud of you

What’s been in your rotation? Books and music wise

I’m really enjoying these. Vogue Italia, Elle, System, Thinking Fashion and Avedon: Murals & Portraits

If anyone hits a fugue or block with reading, try magazines and art books

Did anyone subscribe to any book boxes over quarantine? Those curated services that send you a book a Month

Talkin' about books:
Not reading anything rn, was about to get into Baudelaire but I'm already spending lot of time studying so when I finish I want to get my eyes a rest. Last books I read were Meditations and Animal Farm.

Talkin' about music:
I'm costantly searching bangers to listen when I'm at gym/in my car that make me and the friends go hyphy (like Zel, Cam'rom, Jay, clipse, yg ecc), romantic songs when I'm wit gf and inaccessible/underground music to listen when I'm alone (like Talk Talk, Swans, Tool and currently digging more in Dumile discography).

Disturbing book that one.

Just picked up Blink by Malcom Gladwell

My only real exposure to this man is his appearances on the Bill Simmons pod and he usually says something dumb but the book was $1.99 and I know a lot of people fw him lol

just got a short history of everything

yall enjoy the book or nah?

I've resorted to e-books for the first time to try and catch up with my reading challenge

Covid delaying my book orders so I needed something to keep me going

now reading:

Purple Hibiscus (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
Zami: A New Spelling of My Name (Audre Lorde)

I want to get back into reading, its been a long time, any ideas on how i can find books that may interest me?

Wow book YouTubers are trash
Talk about not taking your own advice. I just went through the blurb of "Saviour's Champion" by this bookTuber and it's easily the worst 70 pages I've ever skimmed through

It's crazy but I couldn't put it down

Started the road to wigan pier by George Orwell

Underworld is heat
