Du hast mir von der Stadt erzählt.

Die Wärme, die Geräusche und deine Anwesenheit hatten den Raum wieder in die mir vertraute Bibliothek verwandelt.

The #ScottishBookTrust pointed to #audiobooks for (re-)connecting to #reading, e.g.,:

Not for me* for #Januread, but I just finished the "Witcher of Salem" heptalogy (Wolfgang Hohlbein, abridged, read by Jürgen Hoppe). #Lesen

And my favourite ones are probably the readings of #Murakami 's
Dance, Dance, Dance (Rupert Degas) and
#Hardboiled Wonderland und das Ende der Welt (David Nathan).

Du point de vue styliste, le tac-o-tac de dialogues et sa phraséologie simple fait souvent penser à #村上春樹 #MurakamiHaruki, qui, peu étonnant, est un grand fan de #川上 #Kawakami. Fort heureusement, les sujets de ses romans sont beaucoup plus variés du côté des marges de la société, les névrotiques, les victimes de harcèlement, la mafia, les alcooliques – un précariat pas souvent digne des expériences littéraires de #Murakami (Haruki, pas l’autre, #村上龍 #MurakamiRyū, lui, il l’en fait plein de ce genre). Dommage que ce livre soit situé uniquement à Tōkyō, ce qui laisse peu d’occasions de jouer sur l’accent d’Ōsaka si souvent de rigueur dans les précédents. 2/2

Murakami on the reflexive imperative as you age

From What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, pg 37

I’m struck by how, except when you’re young, you really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don’t get that sort of system set by a certain age, you’ll lack focus and your life will be out of balance. I placed the highest priority on the sort of life that lets me focus on writing, not associating with all the people around me. I felt that the indispensable relationship I should build in my life was not with a specific person, but with an unspecified number of readers. As long as I got my day-to-day life set so that each work was an improvement over the last, then many of my readers would welcome whatever life I chose for myself.

From pg 86:

So anyway, my muscles right now are really tight, and stretching doesn’t loosen them up. I’m peaking in terms of training, but even so they’re tighter than usual. Sometimes I have to hit my legs with a fist when they get tight to loosen them up. (Yes, it hurts.) My muscles can be as stubborn as— or more stubborn than—I am. They remember things and endure, and to some extent they improve. But they never compromise. They don’t give up. This is my body, with all its limits and quirks. Just as with my face, even if I don’t like it it’s the only one I get, so I’ve got to make do. As I’ve grown older, I’ve naturally come to terms with this. You open the fridge and can make a nice—actually even a pretty smart—meal with the leftovers. All that’s left is an apple, an onion, cheese, and eggs, but you don’t complain. You make do with what you have. As you age you learn even to be happy with what you have. That’s one of the few good points of growing older.

From pg 153:

Sixteen is an intensely troublesome age. You worry about little things, can’t pinpoint where you are in any objective way, become really proficient at strange, pointless skills, and are held in thrall by inexplicable complexes. As you get older, though, through trial and error you learn to get what you need, and throw out what should be discarded. And you start to recognize (or be resigned to the fact) that since your faults and deficiencies are well nigh infinite, you’d best figure out your good points and learn to get by with what you have

📚
"L'uccello che girava le viti del mondo" di Haruki Murakami, pp.840, Einaudi, ed.2013.

Con #Murakami è sempre la stessa storia.
Leggerlo mi fa ogni volta sprofondare in uno dei suoi mondi ovattati.
Un "massaggio" rilassante per la mente.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great (albeit short) memoir, full of introspection and interesting thoughts on running.

This is the book I wanted to read and didn't know. It's an awesome read about running, writing, and the author's own mind. I found myself nodding in agreement to him too many times, thinking "damn, this guy gets me". Pretty inspiring as well.

I haven't read any of Murakami's books yet, but after this, I'll really have to!

To walk by a bookstore really means to walk buy a book (or two )😇
Very excited for these ones. It’s been a while since I read asien literature since there was such a massive hype here (and and a flood of very mediocre titles like BORN 1982), but I am down for it again and #japanuary is around the corner.
