Status Updates From What I Talk About When I Ta...

This ebook has become my go-to one during my bus commute from office to home. I was looking for a good travel memoir kind of book to learn the style of writing when I ended up finding this book. In the first few pages, I liked how simply the writer wrote about his day to day activities without using complex words, structures or even stressfully complex concepts and thoughts.

By the way, I saw a YouTube video presenting the documentation of what they called the Murakami experiment where the creator reads his books and ends up disliking his novels. It is claimed that he writes very weirdly about female characters and for no reason makes the female character that are of very young age have intimacy with old men. But they still did praise the writing skills and imagination of the author.

I can relate how the writer thinks about solitude and how he prefers activities such as running over football or other team sports. He acknowledges that though the solitude is so comfortable and desirable, he knows that inside his heart it's affecting him like a chemical in the lab.
