successfully gaslit into thinking that baking bread is easy

Starting to think that Murakami might have a type?

Once read somewhere that someone had a quote from this tattooed, and I spent the entire book wondering and guessing hmm I wonder what line it is. And then I found the line, and it's obvious.

Honestly, decent quote to get tattooed.

More enjoyable than love in the time of cholera, BUT the bar is low. I still think that people are not as horny as this author believes them to be, but whatever, maybe I live a boring life lol. The foreshadowing is amazing and the book really does make the most of it's very long time span. Blend of superstition and real life is also accurate in ways I didn't realise you could convey with words, made me feel like a child again. Despite it not being the most enjoyable book in the world, I can't say that I wouldn't recommend at least once for the experience.

HILARIOUS, and so ingenious that I can't even tell if it was intentional or not. loved it. made me feel things. (nobody talks about how funny this book is??)

(nearly put it down while reading the first section though. Turns out it was boring to make a point, so uhhh don't let that put you off)
