Though I have never read The Makioka Sisters (though I definitely will now), I absolutely loved An Artist of the Floating World. If you are interested in the concept of memories in general, I suggest reading Oliver Sacks’s work (he’s a neuroscientist, so not fictional). I wrote an article about his work about 3 weeks ago.

Your writing flows so nicely by the way! Great article

Oh, thank you for the recommendation—I will definitely check his work out. And thanks for reading!

I think pre-ordering is still allowed! You might be done with all your books at home by the time it releases!

That's my general thought as well! Although, if you saw my TBR you would know that my finishing it in the next year is incredibly unlikely.

Yeah, there's no way I'll ever finish my TBR shelf. Because it's not a shelf--it's a whole room.
