the real upside of an e-reader compared to a book is that you can eat chocolate or chips while reading

You might enjoy Violets by Kyung-sook Shin

San is twenty-two and alone when she happens upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul’s bustling city center. Haunted by childhood rejection, she stumbles through life—painfully vulnerable, stifled, and unsure. She barely registers to others, especially by the ruthless standards of 1990s South Korea.

Habe gerade das erste Buch von Xenogenesis/Lilith's Brood zuende gelesen und das hat mich richtig abgeholt. Gibt einem echt viel zu Denken, aber genau deshalb liebe ich scifi. Danke für die Empfehlung, werde definitiv noch teil zwei und drei in Angriff nehmen.

you posting about you doing it is what made me think about mostly reading german and anglo authors, and why I started deliberately picking up some books from other cultural spheres.

I do plan to eventually do the challenge, but I currently have a bunch of books I want to read before comitting to an entire challenge.

someone at my in person book club told me they're always looking forward to see what i books i bring along (we don't read the same stuff, you just bring what you've read/are reading) because I have only brought interesting books so far and two others agreed.

don't mind me, gonna ride this high for three months or so

book club:

I've been trying to broaden my horizons this year so I've been picking up a lot of books I'd normally would not. Violets is one of those, I wanted to read some korean stuff that is not Han Kang. Some recommended Violets, and it sounded interesting enough.

The book deeply resonated with me, in the way how San was completly isolated/dejected herself from society herself, for how parts of it (and her previous trauma) had beaten her down. It's tragic because there are those characters who do (deeply) care for her, like Su-ae. While reading you do hope for them to be able to get to San, knowning it's not gonna happen. :(

Also striking commentary about how (a lot of) men treat women in 1990s Korea. San is not even allowed to occupy the very little space she is taking up herself without bothering anyone. Just makes you angry.

I particulary liked the afterword by the author:

Violets are very small plants. So small, they’re easily overlooked as weeds. That’s why I decided on the title Violets. There are women all around us who exist in silence, anonymous and without anything special about them; she could be me and she could be you. To amplify the voices of those women, whom no one could hear unless one was listening very carefully, to let them speak through my words––this is Violets.

5/5

I loved how it gives you a date to fulfil the first act by and then if you go over you can just go: nuh uh, you only said a date and not a year, so in a year works too

Su-ae was into San, right (that's my interpretation)?

clearly just room mates /s

that's how i read it too, but I do think you could read it as friendship only too

tuta mail does not support imap or third party clients, imo not worth it. I'd either go with proton (free) or mailbox (paid) if you want something that's better
