the real "would you still love me if i was a bug"
started the book in tears, finished the book in tears, when is hiro arikawa ever NOT making me cry omg
After reading the vegetarian, and also the white book, and not totally loving either of them i thought to give we do not part a try having saw it in my local library, and I'm very glad i did.
This book turns out to be so much more than what you're told about it, which i think Han Kang's work always does. You're brought into this book under the guise of an unassuming plot, where one woman asks her friend to check on her bird at home while shes in hospital. From there it just spirals into this snow logged story that you can't pull yourself free of. It's almost like the story won't let you go until you've heard all it has to say.
I really enjoyed the way this book was laid out, and how we were divided between the present and the past while our main character is stuck in this liminal space where time seems to stand still. Most of the narration takes place over what is, i believe, one night and there's something about that that just adds to the overall atmosphere of the book.
As devastating as it is beautifully written, very much a book i would recommend.

Was thinking about the Dewey Decimal system, as I most often am lol, and got onto thinking what I would be under, and went for a gander 🐈 Personally, the category i would probably associate with myself the most is 786 Keyboard, mechanical, electrophonic, percussion instruments as I'm big into music and production 🙂↕️🐈
What category would you assign yourself, and why? 🌸
If anyone would like to hop on with their category, here is the link for the wiki page i used to see them all: dewey decimal classes
Happy categorising ! 🐈📚✨️

🐈 The time has come...let's see who your favorite fictional cat characters are! 🐈
A few that come to mind for me:
Moggett (Sabriel, Garth Nix; presents as a cat, so that counts). Whiskers (Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books; winged black and white cat) Pixel (The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Heinlein) Tailchaser (Tailchaser's Song, Tad Williams) The Cat in the Hat (Seuss, Dr.) Otsuka (Kafka On the Shore, Murakami) Jiji (Kiki's Delivery Service, Eiko Kadono)
Any favorites from the rest of you? 😁
EDIT: So many good ones. Have to run off to meetings but I'll be back to check the thread. Does the cat from the video game Stray count? Did that cat have a name? I loved the game
