So I am going to read "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami next. 

I just have been told that this book is quite famous but I didn't know that when I got it in the book fair, it was due to the synopsis. 

Also I hurt my right hand

Andrei Platonov (much recommended!) is Gertrude Stein of Russian literature. That’s a reductionist comparison, but it’s close.

This analogoffice post, Thinking is Messy <https://analogoffice.net/2023/03/25/thinking-is-messy.html> is a good affirmation for me making marginalia and chaotic notes. I should mess things up more.

Thinking is Messy

Analog Office

So i completed "また、同じ夢を見ていた (I Had That Same Dream Again)".

oof what a ride, in this a grade schooler sets to find out what "happiness" means to her, and i loved how this pans out. I very well did not expect that 

I will write a full review on my site sometime in the future 

What should i read next?, see the post I replied to

> And the gardener would assent, with “Ay, they’re the cunning ones,” for he would not allow that war was anything but a kind of trick which the state attempted to play on the people, or that there was a man in the world who would not run away from it if he had the chance to do so.

— Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way, Combray

When I was 14, I believed that wars have a purpose, something important to people. Some higher goal.

But now, I tend to agree with that gardener: war (especially modern one) is more often a trick (a trap, as they translated it in Russian edition) to kill people in pursuit of elites’ goals. Not peoples’ goals, that’s for sure. No one wants to die nor kill.

This <https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/> is a really involved system for thought recording in #paper #notebooks. A paper #hypertext system with graphs and subjects, if you wish. A nice one! I might think about integrating it into my paper workflows, but right now I’m more into narrative structures than fact structures.

Thanks again @bouncepaw for sharing this with me!

Andrei Platonov is Russian Gertrude Stein. And he’s good too!

This edition of “Lolita” I started today is just so aesthetically pleasing. With good cloth cover, rich red, golden accents, and nice serif font. Nothing regarding the story yet, but the experience is good.

Made some good finds at the local antiquarian.

Taking a break from work to start reading this paper. Long overdue.
