very motivating to read while i'm in the dissertation trenches. mildly stressful to read on account of those same trenches barring me from resuming my usual gym trips. murakami is making it sound like all my muscles are withering away as we speak…

i haven't read a murakami in so long (definitely DNFed the last ones i read), but i do have to say that his nonfiction work is stellar. maybe i just have to limit my reading of his works to ones i know i like and his nonfiction books 🥴

baseball mention!!

it's been 10+ years since i last read this and more than a few since my last murakami. i'm assuming that i'll get more out of now that i didn't quite get in high school, especially as i am in the midst of some writing deadlines at work. i have to say: i've missed murakami's writing style <3
