i absolutely love this, I have also read some of the books that you reviewed (heaven from mieko kawakami being my favorite book ever) and it's my first time seeing someone not finding "convenience store woman" boring and just it being about a weird and awkward woman while missing the whole point of the book, I think this blog might be one of my favorites(I also love the your whole web design tbh!!!)
Wishing you a fast recovery!! :D
I'm sorry you are going through such a painful ordeal. Indeed, may you heal quickly! π
