Kafka sulla spiaggia | Murakami Haruki,

?/ ⭐️
Penso che lo dovrò rileggere
Fino alla fine ho aspettato mi spiegasse qualcosa, ma quel qualcosa non è mai arrivato
Un libro che ti lascia senza fiato e piuttosto perplessa, con passaggi straordinariamente toccanti e profondi e altri che ti fanno dubitare di quello che stai leggendo
Ho la sensazione di non aver recepito tutto quello che il libro voleva dirmi, e per questo ci vediamo alla prossima lettura per una recensione finale

giulia.mosna L'ho quasi comprato un paio di volte ma non ero sicura, adesso però sono curiosa di leggerlo e parlarne con te :) di Murakami avevo letto "la fine del mondo e il paese delle meraviglie" e mi ricordo che anche quello mi era piaciuto ma mi aveva anche lasciata molto perplessa/confusa 3mo
iaietta @giulia.mosna sarei molto curiosa di sapere le tue opinioni :) 3mo

Lee Miller: A Life | Carolyn Burke

Pickpick

This has been on my shelves since I went to an exhibit about Miller and Man Ray. I think the cover should read “Her Many Lives” instead of “A Life” because this book shows that she was not someone content to stay within the boundaries of expectations. She was a Vogue model, a muse, a photographer, a war correspondent; over and over she reinvented herself and pursued her desires. An interesting look at a complex but important figure. #24in2024

The Perfect Friend | J. V. Cardy

Well now:
1. Samantha Heather Mackey , because she is me. She is.
2. Hmmm... Dracula? Walter Hartright?
3. Done. I just finished the #Netgalley ARC and while I didn't like the last two chapters and Epilogue too much, I really really liked this insanely twisty book. It often went directions that had me literally gasping out loud.

Yuki_Onna Thank you for the tag last week, Randall! This was fun!

To answer your question: I really really don't want to get your hopes up too high, because my mental health is (and has been for at least 1,5 years now) baaaddd... So don't expect results anytime soon (supposed you agree to this, anyway...)
But I'm talking about translation into German.
Your curiosity must be rewarded.. 😎

The_Penniless_Author Ooh, I would totally agree to that! (And of course, I understand it may never happen, just letting you know I'd be into the idea if you ever felt up to it.) I don't know how that works with my publisher, but I could find out if/when it becomes a reality. 9mo

My heart is full. ❤️ Got to travel to Kansas City this past weekend where I lived for 10+ years. I was spoiled by my girlfriends there AND I had the immense pleasure of spending an afternoon with @vivastory. After being friends on Litsy since 2016, it was so great to finally meet Scott in person. ☺️ The two cool books are from him. So thoughtful! My only disappointment was that I missed seeing Taylor Swift. Next time! 😀

kspenmoll Sounds beyond wonderful! So happy for you! 11mo

Les Enfants Terribles | Jean Cocteau
post image

This weekend I went to exibition sharing an eye of how children are portayed in (children‘s) literature - often as enfant terribles. It was very interesting.
Can you guess the books portrayed in the two smaller pictures?

Dilara Pippi Longstocking on the left (looking at the stripy stocking). Not sure sure about the right picture. Alice in Wonderland, maybe, if the teacup is a clue for this book ? But I must say I can't associate anything with that booted, naked leg. 13mo
Ruthiella Pippi, Alice and Struwwelpeter! 😃 (edited) 13mo
MariaW @Ruthiella Everything correct! 😊 13mo
MariaW @Dilara Both correct. I took the picture with the teacup on purpose otherwise I would have felt like you did. 13mo
Dilara @MariaW 😇 👏 13mo

Kafka on the Shore | Haruki Murakami

What an unexpected surprise! This story was so deep and magical! Another book that I didn‘t think I‘d like based on the cover. Silly me. I won this on Goodreads, and am so glad that I did! I loved so many of the characters! I‘d like to try another book by this author. There were some very strange parts that I didn‘t quite understand, I‘d like to hear others thoughts on what this story really meant. I feel that some of up is up to interpretation.
