Not just because he’s Canadian
But, because I can identify

by Haruki Murakami

Next, the shadow digs holes in the winter with a shovel� I know it’s fiction to get caught up in the details, but that’s near impossible. digging a hole with the shovel in the winter. ]]> Review7052176895 Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:17:09 -0800 /review/show/7052176895 Franky gave 2 stars to The City and Its Uncertain Walls (Hardcover) by Haruki Murakami
Is Murakami losing it?
Or perhaps his translator� Page 45 of the Canadian edition of this book
he writes:
We always met in a small park near the subway. A place we’d met many times before. The park had playground equipment for little kids to play on, water fountains, and a bench under a wisteria arbour.
I would sit on the bench and wait for you.

However,
then he goes on to say that she always came before him!
Could someone explain this? ]]> ReadStatus7833390107 Thu, 18 Apr 2024 09:38:10 -0700 /review/show/6438516876 Franky wants to read 6 Crows Gold by Garnet Rogers

Do I just automatically give books 5 stars because I’ve been entertained and taken away for period of time
I’m just finishing the audiobook and Louise Erdrich is reading it.
Oh my gosh
I love her descriptive nature.
Do you think she invents words like fringing� to steal� but on a moral basis, a necessary thing Stealing fringing�?
I love her writing about Indians,
her nonfiction as well,
and her trips to the hieroglyphics of the ancestors.
There is,
and was a way of being that is so natural.
Stop writing if you have to
but please keep publishing

by John Fante

I love reading the one star reviews first;
and I would argue.
There is a reason to read this review,
and I think it’s a good review
and it’s clear and concise�
Ah,
the divisive nature of a modern humans�

So,
I felt like putting the story down a couple times,
but I continued to read

because I found it like that car accident,

the one you just can’t help but stare at. ]]>
