This is a difficult book to summarize as it is really genre defying. It is the story of two boys who meet in an orphanage. The plot is compelling, bizarre and full of shocking and fascinating content (e.g., self-mutilation, pet alligators and weird sex adventures).

Next up on my reading list. I‘ve enjoyed other Japanese writers, including H. Murakami (Wind Up Bird Chronicles). I‘ve heard this one has a slightly comic element.

What a fun surprise! Today in the mail I received a #RABCK (random act of #BookCrossing kindness) from fellow #BookCrosser hyphen8. I had this book on my wishlist because I‘ve enjoyed reading some of the strange novels (and especially the short stories) of this author. I‘m very much looking forward to reading this book which came to me all the way from Hawaii. 😲

We decided to print out some photos of our travels from last year. This photo was taken when we crossed to Miyajima from Hiroshima on a ferry. I should have been taking in the view, but I was at the end of the book. I‘m still not sure how I feel about my decision to read. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Staying in a capsule hotel tonight in Tokyo. I hate sleeping in a separate area from my boyfriend, but at least it gives me time to look through the books I've bought so far! I told my boyfriend to not allow me to buy another book (probably will anyway though). I have no idea how I'm going to get the books back that I've accumulated throughout the past year when I move back to America next month. I guess my clothes and shoes have to go.
