DC's personal musings on books, video games, productivity, and other cool things
1Q84 is a thoughtful book, a tale spun with many narratives, yet one delicately woven with a master’s flair and technicality. Its translation to English is, I’d like to say, superbly done, with each word seemingly chosen with delicate care, like a skilled wordsmith working at rewriting a curious novel.
Angela’s Ashes is a very fun read, but it’s also a very depressing one. It’s a very personal, a very Frank look into a poor boy’s life as he grows up to be a man. It’s comical in its own way, since Frank uses the most colorful language, something he picked up while growing up in the slums of Limerick, Ireland.
Advice to a Young Wife From an Old Mistress is a nonfiction book that draws from the experiences of a mistress to a married man. However, this book is not a titillating tale of lust and adventure; this is a thoughtful treatise on how a mistress lives in a restricting society, and the pain, allure, beauty and wisdom of being one despite that.
