There's a change of tonality in your videos lately which is absolutely perfect for the mood I'm currently in. Okay, Norwegian Wood. Read it in 2012, didn't write a review about it, so I don't really remember anything about it. But when you said it's a story about a guy somehow entangled with two lesbian women, I was like, yikes, isn't that the typical straight man's wet dream you would expect from someone like Murakami?

[@nathansnook]

ahhh glad that the videos are speaking to your mood! it is the typical straight man’s wet dream! although here, there was much love that was heartfelt between the two female leads where i feel like this one sets itself apart from his others ✨💙

beautiful vlog nathan, as always !! Laika...😢 the gatekeeping is reallll w fav books 😭😭 people have to pass my friendship litmus test to get the good personal recs lol

[@nathansnook]

@@literaryleila OMG YEAH the friendship litmus test to get to the GOOD GOOD! you get it ! 😭

[@leraandflow]

beautiful vlog as always! love your music choice so much as well, it must take so much effort to find the right tunes, but in the end all of vlogs are such a vibe.

[@nathansnook]

music matters! love taking the time to find the right tune with the right moment. life is CINEMA!

[@adriana410]

I love your taste and recs but I'm not a one and done kind of person. I need to read the duds, the goods and the in-betweens. I relish in seeing an author's growth. BUUUUT now I know to read Sputnik Sweetheart as my next Murakami.

[@nathansnook]

i’m much the same! i enjoy reading everything, seeing what works and what doesn’t. love seeing the progress. hope you get to Sputnik Sweetheart soon! ✨💙

[@ChanelChapters]

Is it a degree in filmmaking or were you just born with it

[@nathansnook]

a bit of nathan lore -- i actually started out as a screenwriting major in my undergrad!

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

Murakami…I do want to try a Murakami. I have read What I Talk About…Running book while running. It’s dated now..a couple references…but I recall enjoying it. Love love your Sunday vlogs. 🥰🥰

[@nathansnook]

i think his running memoir is still fantastic in how an artist creates their own discipline, but would love to know your thoughts on Murakami's fiction!

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

@@nathansnook, oh great point. I love that.
