I remember the feeling I got after I read ‘A man called Ove' - heart-warming, calm. It's the same feeling I got while reading this book. The setting, the characters and the story really warms your heart, the slow pace of life is very comfortable. I loved this!

I bought this in Colombo, because I wanted to read a book on my Sri Lanka trip by a local author.

I was nervous about this book, after all its a book about the life of a crow and their tribe.

Boi oh boi, I'm surprised at how this short book kept me hooked. It's simple, comfortable and leaves me thinking about the life of an ‘ordinary' crow. Now, weirdly, when I look at any crow, I'm able to think from this perspective.

I recently got shat on by a crow. I wonder if he was the local ‘Rectum Ranger champion' of the day. If you were - cheers my friend xD

Ek time pe relevant thi, tab li thi. Aaj subah thodi relevant lagi toh padhli. One of those books you read when you need such comfort. Will be on the shelf now, until well, I'll need it randomly some day.

Did I just read this book in 2 days...

Man this is a long read. Glad I had the week to read a lot. Picked this for Japan context building but also because Murakami is hyped. I didn't get a lot of parts, especially the ending. I guess there was no profound ending to it. But the book and its few characters did make me feel calm and free. I am slowly getting pulled towards that slow life, each day.
