Welcome to the Sayaka Murata Book Club! This book club is dedicated to the works of Sayaka Murata (surprise!). Why a whole book club for one author? Because her writing is very suitable for intermediate level Japanese reading. Her use of language is straightforward, without flowery vocabulary or cr…

It’s an endless cycle of buying Murata books, getting points back, using those points to buy more Murata books, etc.

I’m a bit late, but I just read on twitter that 本日8月14日は村田沙耶香さんのお誕生日。 Happy Birthday, Murata-sensei! :partying_face:

oh no, I missed it too :frowning: Do you maybe remember which twitter account posted it?

It’s here: https://twitter.com/Kawade_shobo/status/1426302721016074240?s=20 I saw because Murata-sensei replied to it. (But now I don’t see the replies in my feed D: )

I realized I forgot to buy it. :sob: Welp, enough time to wait for another sale.

I assume most folks here are pretty tuned-in with the IBC, but in case you missed it they’re voting on the next pick now. 地球星人 is one of the options if a whole Murata club still isn’t enough Murata for you. I read it in English about a year ago and I will say it’s one of my favorite books I’ve ever …

I considered not voting for 地球成人 precisely because I’m not sure I can handle two of her books simultaneously without getting them both totally tangled… In the end I did still vote for it. No promises I won’t change that vote for the yoshimoto banana one before the poll closes. :see_no_evil:

It’s the reason I didn’t vote for it. I find it strange to have another book club for Murata when there’s already a dedicated one. (Plus I really want to read コンビニ人間 first, but that has nothing to do with the current book clubs of course.)
