From the 20s? Literally a century ago? That sounds interesting indeed (although, probably depressing)
14th may
finished ใฏใ็ท็ต completely now, mostly skimmed the last two chapters. more french sneaking its way in with ใ ใใทใฅ plus not one but two biology lessons (if you ever need to know bone marrow, this is the manga for you!) but other than that pretty dull. lots of good food vocab tho. hopefully my next weekend manga pick is more interesting
I have that on my reading pile as well, but Iโm somewhat afraid to touch it because itโs oldโฆ
I know I shouldnโt ask you because your baseline is so different from mine , but how would you rate its difficulty?

I am going to bash my head on Dracula nightly until I make satisfactory progress lol. I love vampires and Iโm enjoying reading the story that started the craze. Iโve found that holding my bookmark over text Iโve already read is really helping me to not skip around lines. I think this is another case where reading digitally would be harder on me.
As for JoJo, I completed the chapter I meant to read Friday and then read another chapter. Iโll have to decide if I want to take a break on the chapters since I have 2 book club readings due at the end of the week.
Edit:
I forgot to add that seasons was about the etymology of ใใฏใใ and various birds that are very active in May/June
Words from the spaceship and coffin

It was actually a delight to read. To me the author came off as fiesty and I want to read more of her works!
so the first section or two are rough. Lots of unusual (to me) words. It does use kanji for common words (ๆญคๅฆ and the like iirc) but grammar wise it really wasnโt that bad. For me at least the second half I was on a roll and it didnโt feel any more difficult than a semi-tricky novel. I did use the read along on YouTube linked on Natively.
Itโs only 20ish pages and has lots of section breaks, so if you need to take it in parts thatโs totally doable.

I read about 20 pages into Bocchi The Rock (trial), but maybe itโs a little gloomy for my taste.

Today, one sentence took me over 10 minutes to puzzle out. Granted, the sentence itself was over 100 symbols long, had several commas, and I still have no idea in what order you need to read it to make sense of it.
At least I got the gist of it. From the kitchen you can see the wall of the living room, but instead of pictures there are two brooms (big and small), which is unusual. Phew, that was hard. And even for this I needed help because itโs really hard to read some kana-only words (or words where I know the kanji, but itโs written in kana here).

Started with this new abbc bookโฆand finished the first chapter in about 12 minutes.
Ooh, Iโm glad youโve mentioned jpdb, I didnโt know about such a good resource - thank you! )
Gonna play Zelda and do some reading with that soon, but I spent a while on Paranomasight, got in some good reading. I donโt really want to say much about how the game works cause the very premise and mechanics it has been developing work a lot better as surprises. But I met a lot of interesting characters who made some good faces, such as these guys, so you can at least have that:
This might be the only game where I donโt get bothered by chromatic aberration; the art has some heavy filters but it looks cool especially in motion.
Jay Rubinโs Making Sense of Japanese has a nice section at the end that demonstrates the art of understanding complex sentences by working through them from the beginning forwards. The โfind the verbs and work backwards from themโ approach also works (the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar has an appendix about Extended Sentential Units that is pretty much this), but I prefer Rubinโs approach because I think it fits more neatly with how you already read simple sentences and how you will eventually โjust readโ more complex sentences.
Thanks, putting it on my to-read list!
The advice I always saw was to work the sentence from the end. But I havenโt had a chance to figure out many complex sentences, and none recently since Iโve been reading mainly manga (and VNs which tend to be mostly dialog tooโฆ) for the past 9+ months, so Iโd take @pm215โs advice over what I just relayed any day. ^^
(The places I saw this advice was in book-book clubs here on WK, those Iโve participated in with slightly more complex sentences.)

Youโre welcome! Just a heads up, there are some misparsed words and wrong entries on there, so if something doesnโt make any sense regarding meaning or example sentences thereโs an option to blacklist the word. If youโre unsure, you can always ask in the Japanese question threads around here for advice :3

Last 2 days havenโt been good for reading, have barely managed a couple of pages at bedtime. Been driving, then staying with family, so lots of catching up over dinner etc.
Today I have a mostly free day while my cousin is at work. So the plan is to catch up on the dictionary, and other books.
Tomorrow I go overseas for 5 days to visit a friend. Not sure whether to take the dictionary - realistically best not! I think Iโll have enough other things to focus on.

Seasons was all about asparagus, like its entry into Japan (thank Edo era Dutch visitors), special acids in it, and how asparagus grown underground is white.
I was running really short on time last night (mostly a super busy day), so I opted to read a chapter of JoJo rather than try anything else.
I ended up having a lot of thoughts about JoJo. This is the part in the story with the con man who visits Koichiโs house in these chapters.
JoJo Part 4 Echoes spoilers
Having watched this bit in the anime twice, I always thought it was weirdly extreme for Koichiโs mom to try to hurt/kill herself (I donโt remember the severity in the anime, but I can imagine itโs the same as the manga). Only when having to read each speech bubble on its own did it occur to me that Mrs Hiroseโs sudden compulsion is probably because of the Lock and the con man userโs suggestion. Which then makes Koichiโs Echoes changing her mind make a lot more sense. Sure we see Echoes change reality later on inanimate objects, but being able to actually control people would make Koichi one of the strongest characters in universeโฆ if he wasnโt a below average high school student.
That said, itโs fascinating to think about Part 4 as horror. For most Western fans and myself included, for the first watch through, we typically think of it as high school slice of life due to the prevalence of the genre in anime I think. But Part 4 is listed on Japanese sources as horror for a reason. I think that doesnโt come across well because itโs a much more domestic take than most people are used to. Less Hollywood, more nightmare. For this bit, itโs the horror story of what if your loved ones stopped believing you and were convinced by a 3rd party that you committed horrible crimes?
