haruki murakami's books are way more impressive than any of my own mediocre reading
Show PostEvery October nobody asks me if I'm going to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. I find this to be quite depressing. Even though, of course, I have never written any great work of literature, I have read several Haruki Murakami novels, so I feel like I should at least be nominated. #harukimurakam

Highly recommended. All the books written by Jake Adelstein on crime in Japan are super interesting. This one has also a nostalgic feel for a changing Tokyo. I only spent a few years there but it still stuck a chord with me.
Show PostPeople come here seeking a Japan that no longer exists. The yakuza are an endangered species. Kabukicho is an adult Disneyland that resembles Times Square The warm welcome for foreigners has traded places with Trump-style xenophobia. The people are poor. Japan is now the Daiso of Asia. 残念🫤
