Hm, it's Sunday now...

Yeah it's sunday, and I just woke up in a hotel. Wow, slept so good. Now just to get up, go down and eat breakfast and go to the aqualand. Fun times!

You woke up in a hotel?
Was there a guy next to you, who you've no memories of?

It is certainly a good read--has very interesting characters.
Didn't like the ending too much. The things I cared about weren't explained.
Your first Murakami? Most of them are like that. You're supposed to interpret it based on the rest of the story.

Yeah. I wasn't sure which of his books to start with, but I ended up picking that one. Do you have a suggestion as to which I should read next?

Stop fantasizing. There is no way you are that lucky. You woke up alone, like always.

Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World - similar open ending but easier to interpret
Kafka on the Shore - why have you not read this yet
1Q84 - probably my favorite of his from what I've read so far. Great on all accounts but that fucking ending wtf

kurandoinu · « **Reply #16967 on:** May 25, 2014, 01:02:35 PM »

Yeah 1Q84 was a great read.

Got Kafka on the shore in my to read pile.

Rereading the time travellers wife atm

Somehow Kizumonogatari feels like Duke Nukem Forever.

TiYlER · « **Reply #16969 on:** May 25, 2014, 01:58:01 PM »

I've been waiting since bakemonogatari ended ;_;

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #16970 on:** May 25, 2014, 02:04:27 PM »

^The novel is translated. Might as well read that. Makes waiting for it much less painful.

TiYlER · « **Reply #16971 on:** May 25, 2014, 02:11:33 PM »

Maybe. I've begun caring less and less about the monogatari series. I wasn't able to sit through the 2-cour that aired last year.

(insert picture of Krunk from The Emperor's New Groove holding a book upside down saying something about "How can you read this..? It doesn't have pictures." which I looked for for like 10 minutes and couldn't find)

Wtf Kizumonogatari is out? I should probably watch it.

I really really want to like it but I can't. It flat out sucks. Bakemonogatari was solid as fuck but the rest is so DULL. I was hoping Nisemonogatari was just a hiccup but 6 episodes into Season 2 I just gave up. Still haven't finished that.

No, no it's not.... The Duke Nukem Forever reference was to vaporware.

Oh man, I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about in this analysis paper anymore. These poems are fucking with my head to the point of my loli army committing seppuku.

Woke up with a bunch of kids in the next bed. The best way to secure that I will be alone, for a looooong time;)
(And, I'm not sad on my own behalf, it's pretty nice to be alone;))

Well you should probably find a different example for vaporware because Duke Nukem Forever did eventually release.

What poems, Tatsu? Maybe we can help ya o: if anything, take a break and work on something else for a little while before working on the paper again.
