not really, he's just the japanese john green. but unlike john green he's actually a decent writer.

Pretty decent but I love books about decadence in general. Made me sad because it's hard to come by "erudite" writers like Sebald or Bolaño.
The photos in Sebald's books hardly do anything for me though. I just hoped he'd stop with this fucking meme.

Superior to the Emigrants and Vertigo. Not as good as Austerlitz.

After having read this behemoth twice, am I retarded for still not liking math? I appreciate the field a lot more now, though.

Also, this is the best book that I've ever experienced. One doesn't simply "read" this fucker.

easily one of my favorite books, so easy to pick up meaning to get some reading done between classes and end up reading huge chunks of the book at a time. something between the fact that he's walking from place to place and the way he writes it just really gets me going
