i made this today.  the first part is what it started as but then it turned into something way cooler in the second part imo (around 2min)

def still a work in progress tho.  lotta room to work with with the second part

love food books, such an interesting subject.  how are you liking the eckhart tolle?  i have a few of the seminal "self-help" books on my ipad but i always have trouble getting through them for some reason.

finished meditations last night.  pretty sure i'm just gonna read it through again.  probably the most important book i've ever read.

'

heading to the beach saturday so i'm gonna be posting in this thread a lot lol

finally found time to finish the wind-up bird chronicle.  it was a bit of a slog at times but came together v well at the end.  

now i'm on this:

how bout that new ratking?

i'm super amateur like this is the first time i've ever used logic but i made this today

it was fun:  Children Laughing, Medium Close

first book by murakami ive read

also reading this right now, loving it.

this is fantastic

Okay sweet, one of my good friends just got done reading Cat's Cradle so I might borrow it from him!

 

Thanks for the help.

no problem man.  cat's cradle was my favorite book for a long time.  i use "bokonon" (one of the characters) as a handle on like every site but this .

I've actually never read Vonnegut, but you are about the 50th person to tell me to read him.. so looks like I have to add it to my queue.

start w/ cat's cradle and slaughterhouse 5 , then read breakfast of champions

he's the best

I have read After Dark and Kafka on the Shore as well, and I might try reading this too. I just kind of got on a Murakami kick but I have yet to read any early stuff.

 

I'm really trying to get back in the habit of reading a lot more frequently. Any other authors you might suggest?

vonnegut 4 ever

i'm also fond of michael chabon and junot diaz for contemporary dudes 

it's not tough, compared to any other murakami works, or any literature in general.

I'd actually recommend you read some of his earlier works over 1Q84, it just feels vastly unfinished and unconnected, compared to the stylistic themes he's presented previously. 

I agree with you there.^

 

Perhaps try Sputnik Sweetheart

good to know

i've read norwegian wood and am reading wind-up bird chronicle currently.

just heard 1Q84 was particularly rough but that was just one person

when i was in london my sister and i were joking about starting a crust punk band and "cop knocks" was the name we came up with

it's a phrase i always used for loud knocks when ur high too

 

just started yesterday

let me know how u like this

thinking of reading it next but i've heard it's tough

and i have v little spare time 2 read

dang, INTJ.  grouped w/ a bunch of nerds and terrorists niceeeee

my most viewed sound cloud links are both shlohmo x jeremih.

finally hit body weight bench after what feels like forever (my bench is super skewed relative to the other 2 of the big 3)

get solid grades in my first year of law school

record more music / write more poetry

get a fucking girlfriend / fuck more bzs

If any of yinz are into Baths, he has a side-project called Geotic that makes some great ambient stuff:
