I totally agree about one hundred years of solitude i got the ick even though i understand it's old. the writing is indeed beautiful though and i gave it a 3. I also watched the netflix show and they adapted half of the book (2nd season is already announced) and they adapted everything faithful, i gotta say i also got the ick from certain things (same things that were bad in the book), but i can't deny that it's a very beautiful adaptation like they really did the book justice. Cast was on point and cinematography was fantastic
my pick for a popular book that was SUCH. a letdown for me was priory 😭😭 my hopes were so high and it was so “go on girl give us nothing” the whole time ugh lol
I also don't like Murakami for the same reason. Tbf I haven't read him since I was 16 (I'm 26 now) but the way he wrote about female characters just made me so uncomfortable, I've never felt the desire to pick up any of his books again.

i'm so glad you brought up the military glamorization in tokyo ever after. it was so weird to read that part.
let's be haters today 🤪
