"i read proust this summer and i was like wtf kou no fucking way u read all this" TRUTH. I CONCUR. summer has gone and past and I still am not half way through it
gosh major props to you
i have the patience of a lobster i barely finished swann’s way and i was so tired at that point to continue which is fitting bc all he talks about in the beginning is sleep and i’m like yeah same
but looking back at it now i can kinda understand why kou likes it so much. and to preface i don’t mean that in a derogatory way to the quality of the book (bc i did enjoy it in the end) but this seems like the type of stuff he would read to torture himself. like it’s literally pages of introspection in relation to time and memory and i cannot see kou subjecting himself to that if he wasn’t feeling self-destructive enough (as usual) to read something that hit a little too close to home
