Something to look forward to
Managed to get a long time off at work (I won’t be working until Friday next week) so I’ll be able to catch up on my academic and non-academic books. FINALLY. It feels so good falling asleep with a book on hand and then waking up and start reading it where I left off.
Currently finishing Murakami’s Sputnik Sweetheart, by the way. I might start reading The Decay of the Angel by Mishima Yukio.
Also, I already got my booklist for my ASIA2670 Modern Japanese Literature in Translation. I am so excited! We’re going to read and discuss these books:
- Woman in the Dunes (Abe Kobo)
- Setting Sun (Dazai Osamu)
- Masks (Enchi Fumiko)
- Snow Country (Kawabata Yasunari)
- Confessions of a Mask (Mishima)
- A Wild Sheep Chase (Murakami Haruki)
- Kokoro (Soseki Natsume)
- Seven Japanese Tales (Tanizaki Jun’ichirō)
This class is a lovely excuse to discover Japanese literature, yes. :3
