@katiejlumsden Nice! We are reading Tanizaki and Natsume Soseki too !

[The Anime Readathon: May 1-31 BSD Edition @AnimeReadathon]

@cat_literary It's actually scribd, there are a lot of books and authors by classic japonese authors there, it's definitely worth it this month, but I hope you enjoy your physical copy! It looks like a pretty book to own ☺️

[The Anime Readathon: May 1-31 BSD Edition @AnimeReadathon]

@cat_literary Oh god, thank you for letting me know. I already fixed it!

@cat_literary No Longer Human is fairly short, under 200 pages, but I am cat really does take more time, haha. I am using the audiobook for that one ( it's around 20 hours)

[The Anime Readathon: May 1-31 BSD Edition @AnimeReadathon]

When Dazai mentioned Dostoievsky's Crime and Punishment in No Longer Human, it almost felt like an anime reference
