@noireyukiyamada Hey. Ajaran siapa itu kok lagunya begitu?

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@KABAGJA4N Saya lebih banyak mengawasi arah editorial—memilih naskah, membentuk konsep dan kualitas buku, sampai memastikan sebuah karya siap diterbitkan.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@noireyukiyamada Then I suppose I should feel honored to have earned a place on your daily plan. Though, Yuki, I wouldn't want taking care of me to feel like another obligation.

I promise I'll return the favor—and perhaps make it worth rearranging your schedule for.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@noireyukiyamada As for taking care of me in return… I'll gladly allow it.

Perhaps we should see how well this arrangement works for the two of us.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@noireyukiyamada You caught that rather quickly. Yes, I meant you.

And if you're offering to lean on me, I would be rather rude to turn you away. Just don't be surprised if I get used to having you there.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@anantakasi A pleasure to meet you, Kasih. I work primarily with manuscripts and novels, so my desk is usually occupied by stories waiting to be shaped before they find their readers.

[𝑨𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀 𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐇 @anantakasi]

@TamagoPost “Nice to meet you, Nikolas. I am Kasih, one year older than you. I act and write for a living. May I ask what kind of script you're editing? I've been reading An Apprenti_ceship or The Book of Plea_sures, and I am so in love with it ... I don't want to finish it, yet.”

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@archaiclines I haven’t had the pleasure of reading it yet. Though I must admit, describing Murakami’s work as a Quentin Tarantino film in novel form sets rather high expectations. I’d be curious to hear your verdict if you decide to pick it up.

[⸙ @archaiclines]

@TamagoPost i have picked up recommendations from a person im following and one that got my attention from his book pile was: in the miso soup by ryu murakami. the way he described it is like a quentin tarantino movie in a novel. i might read it this month!

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@atmosfhers Then I imagine you’d enjoy a good unreliable narrator. There’s something satisfying about being made to question everything you’ve just read. What other books have managed to surprise you like that?

[𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐚 @atmosfhers]

@TamagoPost Angela E, 2000.
Verity by Colleen Hoover. Personally, I like storylines that are full of surprises and have romantic elements.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@Bloodylettered I have, though I’m more curious about what made you reread it. A second reading usually says more about the reader than the first one does, don’t you think?

[VICTOIRE. @Bloodylettered]

@TamagoPost Been re-reading King of Scars lately. Have you ever heard of that book? VICTOIRE, 1998.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@ANGANUMATA Financial reports and cookbooks are an unexpectedly practical pairing. One tells you what the numbers are doing, the other tells you what to do about dinner. I can’t say I’d object to either. What’s the last thing you cooked that was actually worth repeating?

[SATYA. @ANGANUMATA]

@TamagoPost All I read is financial reports and cook books. I'm not a big reader, to be honest. My name is Satya, it's nice to meet you.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@s1nkingsun The Godfather is a rather memorable book to have stayed with you, even if reading isn’t quite your habit. Puzo understood power and family rather well. Which part of it stayed with you—the story, the characters, or the idea of the family itself?

[ARESTIAN. @s1nkingsun]

@TamagoPost I don’t really read but I remember reading Mario Puzo’s Godfather. Arestian, your age.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@blxckbold Not a writer, no. I’m an Editorial Director, so I suppose I’m usually the man standing between a manuscript and its second draft.

[ANDREAS. @blxckbold]

@TamagoPost Andreas, 1992.

Are you a writer?

[𑣿ྀི @afilmspring]

I want to ask you the questions nobody ever bothered to ask you. I want to know why you are the way you are. I want to understand you so badly (…) stay with me for a little longer.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@TamagoPost Saat ini masih cinta dengan Tum Ayam. Pernah dengan, tidak?

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@Deflictive News is a respectable substitute, though I’d say you’re overdue for something you can read without a deadline attached to it. If you find yourself standing in a bookstore again with no idea what to pick, I might be able to help. What do you usually gravitate toward?

[Trevor Finn Hanford @Deflictive]

@TamagoPost Trevor, 1994.

I read the news instead. I’ve been keeping busy with work, and I kind of lost track of what I wanted to buy when I go to the bookstore.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@halamanfana A Little Life is certainly a dangerous choice if you were hoping for an emotionally uneventful evening. And that line is a memorable one. As for wanting to build something of your own—I can understand the appeal. What is it you’d like to start?

[沈, 𝑍𝐴𝐶𝐻𝐴𝑅𝑌. @halamanfana]

@TamagoPost ㅤㅤ
Zachary, 1998.

Doing family's business for a living but want to start something on my own. Just finished A Little Life yesterday. I have a lot of favourite lines actually but what I love the most is "He was home, and home was Jude."

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@LUPIVORN A rather grim recommendation. I approve. I’ve always found darker books interesting when the atmosphere does as much work as the characters. What made The North Water stand out to you?

[ELANG @LUPIVORN]

@TamagoPost ㅤ

SAGARA ELANG NARPATI ︱1987
I recently read The North Water by Ian McGuire. If you're into dark books, I'd definitely recommend it.

[NIKOLAS BONAVENTURA. @thebonavent]

@atremuseo I have, more than once. I’m particularly fond of the fact that every reread seems to make the story a little less romantic and a little more tragic. And I envy that secondhand copy of yours already—it sounds like it has acquired a history of its own.

[ANAMIKA. @atremuseo]

@TamagoPost ANAMIKA HIRANYA, 1995.
It’s a reread of one of my favorite books, actually. The Great Gatsby—I got this secondhand copy years ago and now it’s practically falling apart. Have you ever read it?
