"Standing at the chalk board midway through a word, the memory hit him. It started as a tickle on the back of his neck that sent a shiver down his spine, and before he could get hold of himself, he was gone." - In The Shadow of Elysium by D I Jolly

📌Book l 1Q84 / Haruki Murakami
📍The events of 1Q84 take place in Tokyo during a fictionalized version of the year 1984, with the first volume set between April and June, the second between July and September, and the third between October and December…
“Whatever you want to call Murakami’s work – magic realism, supernatural realism – he writes like a mystery tramp, exposing his global readership to the essential and cosmic questions that only art can provoke: What does it mean to carry the baggage of identity? Who is this inside my head in relation to the external, so-called real world? Is the person I was years ago the person I am now? Can a name be stolen by a monkey?” –New York Times review

I’m in the midst of tacking this 1,157 page behemoth! Wish me luck! #harukimurakami #1q84
途中読むのにイライラしながらも(それくらいのめり込んでた)読了
村上春樹、私のその時悩んでることを主題にしてるように思う
私にとってはいつも呪術的な体験
ただ、読むのにそれなりのカロリーを使うためいつも本気で悩んでる時にしか読めない
もっと手軽に救われたいよー
ある意味一つの手段として1Q84的に言えばそれはハシッシなんだろうけど...

“Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.”
#1Q84
I am really enjoying #1Q84 but it’s a race against the clock to finish it before it’s due back to the library 😰
In #BookSky news, there’s no way I finish #1Q84 before my loan runs out. I’ve got three days left on it and barely a quarter of the way through.
I’ve started on “English Journey,” and two chapters in it’s good. Definitely a product of its time but thought provoking.

青豆說：「不過不管是菜單也好，其他的什麼也好，我們覺得好像是自己在選似的，其實或許什麼也沒有選。那可能是一開始就已經決定的事，只是做出讓你選擇的樣子而已。說什麼自由意志，可能只是自我陶醉而已。我有時會這樣想。」
「如果是這樣，人生就相當陰暗了。」
「也許吧。」
「不過如果能打心裡愛一個人的話，不管是多麼糟糕的對象，就算對方並沒有愛自己，至少人生還不是地獄。就算有幾分陰暗。」
「就是這樣。」
「不過啊，青豆姊。」Ayumi說。「我這樣想，這個世界呀，既不講理，也相當不親切。」
「也許是。」青豆說。「不過事到如今也不能更改。」
「早就已經過了退貨期限了。」Ayumi說。

青豆看著玻璃杯裡的紅葡萄酒。「可能會害怕。不過至少我有喜歡的人。」
「就算對方不喜歡青豆姊嗎？」
「就算只有一個也好，心裡只要能喜歡誰，人生就有救了。就算不能跟那個人在一起。」
Ayumi為這件事沉思了一會兒。服務生走過來，在兩個人的玻璃杯裡添加葡萄酒。喝了一口，青豆重新想到，Ayumi說的沒錯。什麼地方有誰會抱怨這麼棒的葡萄酒呢？

「每次在餐廳點完菜，就會覺得自己好像點錯了。」服務生走掉之後，Ayumi說。「青豆姊呢？」
「就算錯了，也只不過是食物而已。比起人生的錯誤來，就不算什麼了。」
「當然是這樣。」Ayumi說。「不過這對我來說是相當大的事情。我從小開始就一直這樣。每次每次點完菜之後就會後悔：『啊，不該點漢堡，應該點蝦可麗餅的。』青豆姊從以前就這麼冷靜嗎？」

「因為妳既不是天使，也不是神。我知道妳的行為是出自單純的心情。所以也可以理解妳不想拿錢的心情。不過所謂沒有雜質的純粹心情，也自有那危險。活生生的人要抱著那樣的東西活下去，並不是簡單的事。所以妳為了安撫那心情，就像為氣球綁上錨那樣，有必要把它牢牢固定在地上。是那樣的東西。並不是說事情只要正確，只要心情純粹，就什麼都可以做。妳明白嗎？」

#VendrediLecture 🔖 Encore quelques centaines de pages de #1Q84, mon #HarukiMurakami du moment, en écoutant le luth de #ToyohikoSatoh.
Puis, ce sera 'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage' (2013), qui m'attend déjà en librairie…
