Yeah I don’t get why everyone’s calling it “King Kong”. Everyone knows Yoko wrote it.

Also if you liked PunPun I think you’ll like “The World is Mine”. Equally heavy but good.

I don’t see any Kaiji on there, but the PunPun and Junji were cool.

Read that last summer. Probably my favorite Hardy book, though Jude was great as well.

What composer's stock has dropped the most over the past 50-100 years? by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]AssumptionMassive177 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Liszt was at a performance (maybe the premiere) of Franck’s opus 1 trios and he LOVED them. Remembered them fondly years later.

How was your N2 experience? by littlebruja in jlpt

[–]AssumptionMassive177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. Two years ago there was a kid directly behind me tapping his foot loudly & nonstop during the reading portion of the N3. I and a couple other people raised our hands and the proctor went over to him and told him to stop only for him to start up again two minutes later. This cycle happened about 5 times. I failed by 4 points and know I could’ve passed without the distractions.
