when I visited my friend Nico’s house last winter, they gave me their own copy of ‘The Remains of the day‘ presenting it as a book that changed their way of seeing life.
To be honest it is a very powerful and lovely novel, the characters feel very real but also very dreamlike, all of them are described with their own set of traits which makes this short novel a very nice time. it took a while for me to finish it but it’s very light. I wasn’t very familiar with Ishiguro’s work but this was a great introduction.

On a Kazuo Ishiguro kick in the last few months. Fell for the beautiful, understated humanity of his work.

It’s by Kazuo Ishiguro. I love the style of writing. It’s sensitive and exciting and relatable. I also enjoy the philosophy behind the story that unfolds. And of course, the way it unfolds!

Beautifully written, the world and characters feel shrouded in mystery which is great for a reading slump because you’re immediately intrigued. An older couple in an Arthurian Britain embark on a journey to find their son. This one really hit me emotionally and I found myself thinking about it for weeks afterwards.

i think everybody hates small talk, but everybody is also very different from each other, I guess it’s a matter of being understanding with the person or people you’re talking to at the moment. But I do think that personal questions and talking about real life experiences is what gets conversations going, it’s also what makes you remember people and want to reconnect with them. when talking to somebody new there’s nothing better to a first impression than someone who engages and listens. We get what we give so might as well give as much as we can.
