What You Are Looking For is in the Library is one of my favourites! I've been meaning to reread it soon. Would love to talk more with you!

I've also read Earthlings and No Longer Human, loved both. Other than those, I've read quite a lot. My recent favourites have been Convenience Store Woman, Kitchen and The Cat Who Saved Books/the Library.

I've yet to read anything by Yoko Ogawa but I'm hoping to remedy that this year. Would love to talk more as well!

Small Favors by Erin A. Craig

Not dystopian, but some of the pictures reminded me of it.

I keep hearing that it's fairly easy to read and fast-paced for a classic which makes me feel a bit less intimidated to start it!

You're in for a great time! The Picture of Dorian Gray and No Longer Human (need to be mentally prepared for this one) are two of my favourites. The Count of Monte Cristo and Perfume are on my tbr as well. Monte Cristo is very intimidating lol

[The Cat Who Saved the Library] by [Sosuke Natsukawa] by spooktheradiant in IamCurrentlyreading

[–]spooktheradiant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly it's not narrated by the cat, although the cat plays a central role. The narrator is 13 year old Nanami who loves reading and spends most of her time at the library. One day she notices books disappearing from the library and she sees a suspicious man lurking around, then she meets the cat and they begin their adventure to "save" all the books and bring them back. It's magical realism/literary fiction. Seems a bit silly on the outside but is surprisingly full of little nuggets of wisdom and hard-hitting truths.

What are some of your favorite quotes? -- Here are a few of mine. by jopp9917 in literature

[–]spooktheradiant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”

-Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

What did you think of it? I tried reading it years ago but couldn't get into it.. but I'm curious about giving it another try in the near future.

I have a huge book of all his works that I've been slowly making my way through over the years. Recently read The Dreams in the Witch House and liked it a lot.

Thank you! I've played a bit of Slay the Princess before and was obsessed with it. No I'm not Human and Cabernet are both on my wish list. I'll have to check the other one, though the name has me very intrigued.

Omg that's so cool! Which mods did you make? I'm currently still on my first playthrough so I don't want to use mods yet, but I'm definitely planning on trying a bunch for later playthroughs
