I want to love Murakami novels but the views on sex that bleed into his longer novels are very uncomfortable sometimes (looking at you 1Q84). Anyway also https://archive.is/8sNHt

But neither of those books was actually checked out from the Hayden Library on his trip. One of the books was checked out from another library, and another was stolen off the shelves. Norris refused to return the books at first, and Alexa Eccles, the executive director of the Community Library Network, told me in a phone call that, when Norris eventually returned them, the barcodes had been cut out of the book covers, and the library has not been able to return them to circulation or get new copies.
My friend got me Legends & Lattes.

This is awesome thank you for writing your thoughts out! I loved Time Shelter, I heard the translation to English was poor compared to Georgi Gospodinov’s native language.
