3.0

[1st read from 4/1/2022 to 15/1/2022] — 3.25⭐️

— okay… it’s time… my first murakami!
definitely started with this because of 1) he’s such an intimidating author so i felt like short stories would ease me into his writing style and 2) drive my car is most likely getting an oscar nomination and i refused to watch it until i read the source text lol

some of these were very good and others kinda had me falling asleep at times but it was overall pretty enjoyable!
highlights: drive my car, scheherazade (which should totally be a full length novel) & kino!
i also appreciated the uno reverse trick of the metamorphosis by kafka in samsa in love VERY much!
this just makes me so excited to keep reading his work!
