Oh, this is my 3rd Japanese novel I'm reading, so I'm only just getting started. But I'll be sure to keep posting here.
I wanted to dive deeper in specific topics this year, rather than jumping from one topic to the next. The coming months I want to read mostly contemporary Japanese literature, which is still a very broad topic of course. Right now I'm reading No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, a short novel about a troubled man who fails to connect to others. Currently halfway and ian incredibly bleak view on human relationships and interaction.
The squares with rounded edges are definitely ads.
I'm currently reading Monbiot's Regenesis, a book on the problems of modern day agriculture and a vision of a new future for food. I'm currently about halfway, and it's mostly still about the problems of the current agricultural practices, but it's already intriguing and throught-provoking.
I've just watched Brazil, a dystopian scifi from the 80s. The visuals were great, and I love the genre, but I wasn't really feeling it. I just couldn't really care about the characters.
