Wait, would jap cleaning lady ask you to get rid of your library? That makes no fucking sense.

>> No.17249212

I thought she went by the rule of only keep things that spark joy, so I guess if every book you owned sparked joy (I have no idea how that would feel) then you could keep them.

I haven't watched her show properly or read her books so I may be wrong on that.

Having a large library is pretty much the only thing that sparks joy in my life.

"Spark joy" just means it stirs an emotion in you: excitement, anticipation, nostalgia, whatever that may be. The idea is de-cluttering by getting rid of stuff that you're only holding on to because you *might* get around to it *one day*

She has a line in her book specifically about the Book part of her cleaning process to the effect of "if it's been on your shelf for months or years and you still haven't read it, you probably never will and the purpose of that book was to show you that you never actually needed it."

A lot of KonMari is questionable and horribly tedious, but I do follow her advice and weed through my library a couple times a year.

Norwegian wood was my first Murakami novel but I only ended up getting about a hundred pages in before stopping. However, I then got windup bird chronicle and finished and really enjoyed that.
I guess I just enjoy his magical realism style of storytelling more than how Norewegian Wood was written. I'll try to go back to it eventually.
