i have been trying to get back into reading for a while, i used to do it nonstop in middle/high school but fell off after i graduated. i picked up Thursday Murder Club randomly at a bookstore a few weeks ago and finally sat to read it this week and it’s really doing it for me right now. i don’t have much time to read anymore with college and work but i think this will be the first book i have finished since i graduated high school 😅 so, i’m curious. what books randomly re-sparked your love for reading?

    Norwegian Wood - Murakami. Was recommended to me years ago but I finally gave it a try this year and it had me hooked from start to finish. I read Kafka on the Shore not long after and enjoyed that too, though not as much.

      I can’t wait to try Norwegian Wood! Have you read 1Q84 or the Wind up Bird chronicles? I feel like those are both super strong Murakami

      interesting!! Norwegian Wood is on my started-and-got-really-invested-in-but-still-never-finished list, i loved the way everything was set up initially but i didn’t even really put a dent into the book. hopefully i can keep with reading this time around and finally get to the end of it!
