“The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg.

Amazing book…I might publish a review after I’m done reading it.

Tumblr is definitely more a habit than a choice.  

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

First off, this book is amazing, the best book I have read this year after The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Coincidentally (or maybe not so coincidentally) this may also be my first book review after The Fault in Our Stars.

The book sucks you in pretty quick and from very close to the start makes you want to find out ‘what next’ after every page. It is one of the most engrossing books I have ever read. It made everything the main character was feeling and doing so read. All the characters, regardless of their quirk are very real and believable and just make you want to believe them.  Murakami describes the place and feeling so well. The book has a kind of sad and lonely tone, but I don’t think it makes the reader, or it didn’t make me, feel that way. It’s quite serene and made me feel quite peaceful and content and in my own bubble whenever I put it down and did something after reading.

The novel really doesn’t have a genre. If anything I would say kind of (like 500 days of summer but much less fantastical) it is a story of a boy and a girl, but I don’t think it’s quite a love story and it’s not just one boy and girl. That’s another thing the book did, it shows the dynamics of so many couple’s relationships.

I recommend this book to everyone - over the age 15.

More of my opinion and Murakami’s works…

I finished reading reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami today.

LOL not that anyone is going to read it anyway. =/

Hmm The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, what to say. 

This is the best book I’ve read in years. When you finish this book you will not be able to speak you will be like OMG djskagfakdlfjagav, or so I was anyway and so were some others I’ve heard from.

If you’ve read any John Green in the past you will know he’s an exceptional author. While I didn’t find this book as captivating as Looking for Alaska, I thought the book was much deeper and much more developed. The characters had more depth, the theme was bigger, it was more literary.

Without giving any spoilers this book is the love story between two cancer kids. 

I particularly loved how much there was going on in this book. It’s really deep and addresses really serious matters, but also has humour injected in just the right places. The characters have so much going on in their own lives but still spend a lot of time thinking about things from their loved ones point of view.  It’s a YA(young adult) book yet it addresses the big topics in life such as “what do we really want at the end of life”.

This is a very well written book. The content comes at you blunt and is very emotion. 

It is distinctively John Green. 

You’d be mad not to read it.

I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
