Read another 私のGOAT本 コラム by 上白石萌音 about 雪の練習生. It is suggested to go into the book completely blind:
1、頼れる友人や家族にタイトルを伝えて購入を頼む。
2、帯と表紙カバーを外しておいてもらう。
3、裸の状態で本を渡してもらう。
Personally, I want to know what to expect from a book before going in. I ended up looking up the book and it sounds both very weird but also interesting. ![]()
After which, I directly continued onto the next short story 違う海にいる by 麻布競馬場 which - again - I really enjoyed. It deals with something I feel most people who have reached the age of 30 and beyond will have experienced at some point or are right now experiencing: friendships changing and you not being as important to someone as they are to you.
A bit of a melancholic story.
I just realized, I seem to have skipped 念のため by 芦沢 央. Oops. Guess that’s next on my list.
Aaaand done… hm… not sure how I feel about this one. I did not quite vibe with it. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen and then it just ended… ![]()
