One of those that’s a classic for a reason. Made me reconcile with some of my feelings of religion in a way that felt good and just generally it’s a books that I really love and think about often

This book infused more essence into my life in the three small days it took me to read it, and this is a book I will be returning to frequently. Like Maggie Nelson’s Bluets. They impress upon me similar feelings of awe and connectedness, both have given me that a-ha, Eureka! feeling. To feel understood, to feel read by the book you are reading, to feel like you were called to it at the time you most needed it, is a very lovely phenomenon that has happened only several true times in my life. This is one of them.

to be honest, i felt a little uncomfortable while reading it, but i also think about it a lot now and i actually really enjoyed it! the journey that tsukuru tazaki goes on and the differences between his life and the lives of his friends is so interesting to me. uncovering that mystery as he goes & figuring out just what happened for them to have left him??? i couldn’t put it down!!
i think it’s not for everyone though. a lot of murakami’s works are like that to be honest, and like i said it made me go “eugh…” a little too… but if someone asks me for one of my favorite books i think i’ll continue to tell them it’s this, just because of how much the story’s stuck with me!!

idc how basic this is, this book actually made me uncomfortable at first bc i realized i wanted to shut the fuck up and be a better person. i refer to it like the bible and force it on anyone like an evangelist. anyone who’s woo-woo minded like me will appreciate hearing about love as the important thing that it is while learning a new definition of it that restructures your life

I usually just make myself drip coffee or a single cup of tea during the week but I’ve got a little time so why not make a whole tea service just for me

It just gives it that extra little umph. Like what was a late night snack is now a self-care ritual.
