I’d read this book back when it first came out but wanted to reread it after a trip to Japan (including a couple of days in Kyoto).

I loved everything about this book, from the story to the author's prose. This is a book I can see myself reading over and over again.

2016 Read Harder: Read a book that was adapted into a movie, then watch the movie. Debate which is better. (The movie was awful).

Although this technically remains in my library, it is now serving its purpose for crafty intentions and is therefore no longer legible. Don't hate me. If it's any consolation, it was the French edition, so it's not like anyone would have wanted to borrow it...
