Books With Lennon 📚

Wind/Pinball: Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 by Haruki Murakami My rating: 3 of 5 stars These were the first two novels written by Haruki Murakami. I heard about this author on book tube and loved all I heard. I read one of his later books, fell in love with his work, and decided to read his books in publication order. This is clearly a debut novel, it lacks plot and structure but has amazing vibes. It's a real slice-of-life style of fiction where it's just fun to hang around the characters. This is a three and half-starts, I loved the vibes, and I wish I could spend some time drinking beer with the characters in the book. View all my reviews

  Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved reading this classic. I started randomly after noticing it was free to read classics via Kindle, and I was in for a ride. I absolutely loved Frankenstein, the creature he created, and their relationship. There was a lot of word repetition, which would not meet the standards of today's industries. Overall it was an enjoyable experience, and it felt somewhat up-to-date even though it is a book written in the 1800s. View all my reviews

  A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars This has definitely become one of my favorite books. I shared my Winter with this book, reading slowly, chapter by chapter, and it was such a ride. In 2022, I decided to start watching the show, which I did not pay much attention to when it was being released. I absolutely loved it, even though I hated the butchered ending. Now reading the books was a whole other experience. George R. R. Martin is an absolute genius. The writing is beautiful and infinitely superior to the series. The intricacies, the plots, the characters and the way they relate to each other, the world-building, everything is insane, absolutely high level. No wonder this is one of the most appraised fantasy series out there. I will definitely go to the next book as soon as I can. I am just now trying to find the second book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series in an edition to match the one I have, and since Amazon does not have it available, my purs

Hello, everybody! If you are reading this, thank you so much for being here. 2022 was a fantastic year when my life changed for the best. After spending 2020 and 2021 in the biggest reading slump of my life, where I read zero books in two years, I decided to bring back reading to my life, as a central activity, given that it is something I have always loved and cherished. I have a Degree in Literature, which should mean that I read many books, but that was different. Taking the degree took a toll on me. My views about literature and reading sent me far away from what initially drove me to read. I just wanted to read for fun when I started, and that’s what I was missing at the university. I felt like I had to read “real literature” and hard books that were not easy to understand without wasting time to have fun with the books I liked. There were so many things in that experience that I had to get over to get back to reading just for fun. After two years in a reading slump, I bought a fe

  Hello, and welcome to my blog. I am happy to share this post today because it took a lot of reading to get here. It has been a fun journey overall, but oh boy, was I in for a treat. The first time I got in touch with Hunter x Hunter dates back to the early 2000s. I have been watching anime since a very early age. I can date back my first memories of watching anime to around six years old. I distinctly remember watching Dragon Quest - The Legend of Kai and Dragon Ball. After that, I proceeded to watch all that the early 2000s could offer a kid. Saint Seiya - Knights of the Zodiac, Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, Shinzo, Shurato, etc. An extensive list that I went through endlessly, watching and rewatching multiple episodes. Above all, the one that marked me the most during my childhood was YuYu Hakusho, maybe because it had a darker tone than all the others. On YuYu Hakusho, the plot revolves around a detective that fights demons in the spiritual world alongside his companions, and

I decided to stop saying “hello, everyone,” as I understand absolutely no one reads this blog. Still, the narrator must introduce his voice in a text, so hello, and welcome to my blog. August was the first month where I did not make any updates to this blog since I created it. September was just about to become the second month, but I decided to step forward. My mom left Canada to continue her travels in Portugal at the end of September. Work has gone berserk over the past month, but I still was able to read a lot, even more, when I could finally step out for two weeks of vacation after 3+ years of constant work. Now, with all these readings that I have made, there’s just so much to talk about. I am at the prime of my experience as a reader so far in this lifetime. Above all, one thing that has been making a huge difference for me is getting soundtracks to match what I am reading. Since I started this journey of reading more and more, I have begun selecting ambiance tracks on youtube t
