Have you FINALLY finished the book that has been catching some dusk? Have you read a book for your uni course / work that you were putting aside?
Finally caught up with manga?

Share! Boast a little and get some well-deserved congrats from your brethren!

so I have started reading "Ordinary Men" by Browning and was expecting myself to be traumatized again, you know WWII, and while I was reading a lot of that stuff when I was younger as most people do, the older I am, the softer I get. still, I have heard about the book so I was like "should read it now, I guess, before my heart becomes a marshmallow and can´t take it anymore. IT IS NOT THAT BAD, I must say. it is very factual so thanks God for that because last time I was reading a fictionalized book about Janusz Korczak, I literally could not finish it because I imagined everyone dead.... that´s it, that´s my mental stability, ladies and gents.

but to stay on topic. I have made it past 20 pages! yay!

I guess I like them both for their own story being told, it feels like the book gets more in depth for the characters while the movie was easy to watch and just a feel good type of movie with Ghibli animation which is always a treat.

I love the way the book is written, the dialogue is great 😌

@effy That's a good read! Buckle up, it's a continuous descent into darker depths. The characters grow increasingly insensitive, and some even sadistic.

@Duckonator thanks for the fair warning!

I dunno guys if it is just me being a mess but do you also sometimes start reading like three books at the same time? and then feel like "I´ll read a bit of this and a bit of that?" :D or do you complete your readings in one go?

^i usually try to complete stuff in one go but sometimes when i need a break from the series i would pick up something light to read as a way to relax and not be burnt out.

ot: so i just finished reading slam dunk and it was pretty good

this manga has some amazing hype moments and the artwork for the double page spreads is awesome, i also really like how the author calls back to the important moments by having a parallel panel later, like the "don't cry" panel. i didn't like the beginning of the manga because the first serious basketball match happens after 30 chapters which is a lot to get through. i did really like the back & forth between sakuragi and rukawa, it's like they hate each other but gain a mutual respect for one another overtime. i didn't care much for the romance storyline because it was just there to push sakuragi forward that's it, at least his friends were fun though. i also didn't understood the point of the judo club president returning frequently despite knowing sakuragi isn't going to quit basketball. still despite my nitpicks it's an enjoyable series.

my thoughts on the ending:
