I didn't realise The Makioka Sisters was such a hefty book.

I like reading, and she likes rubbing her face against the hard edges of books. We both win 😺

For #JanuaryInJapan I'm reading Yu Miri's The End Of August (tr. Morgan Giles). Looking at the size of it, it will last me well past the end of January 😹 (but not August, hopefully).

I loved Tokyo Ueno Station, so have high hopes for this, a generation-spanning exploration of nationhood, family, and what it is to be Korean in Japan (Yu Miri herself is of Korean descent). And I believe marathon running figures prominently, so that's another plus. 😊

Really enjoying R. F. Kuang's Babel so far.
