Bad haze in morning n heavy thunderstorms in evening.my clothes cant dry in outdoor so i need to spin dry in coin laundry downstairs.the rain is lashing on balcony,thunder clap n streaks of lightning frighten kitty.i swoop him up to put inside study room.he finds it his comfort zone since 2 months old.he ran under the day bed to look for his toy rat.i stay warm n cozy in living room sofa curled up with a good novel i bought at popular book sale months ago.i love japanese literature,succinct yet imaginative
n philosophical.The Cat who saved Books by sosuke natsukawa lets me retreat to a magical world n forget the rainstorm.i make a cup of chai masala to slowly savour reading this novel.i love reading on cold,rainy evenings.l fell in love with modern Japanese writers when i saw one of my students engrossed in reading Murakamis Kafka on the shore.i had only read classical literary works of Yukio mishima and Yasunari kawabata in the UM library.Now im a huge fan of Yoko Ogawa and Durian Sukegawa.after reading sweet bean paste,i love the takiyaki red bean paste filled in a fish pancake.im sad that some books ive lent to friends were not returned like Ogawa the housekeeper n the professor,the travelling cat chronicle,the conveñience store lady n if cats disappeared from the world.they were gems of delight to read.
Look at my captain kitty who has become a book lover like me
Isnt he so kawaii!!!
