Rowan's Reading Site

I've been getting into reading lately, I hope to put information, maybe my thoughts, books I like, or anything else related to my hobby here.

I recently read Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, and I really enjoyed it. It was a long book, but it was worth it. It was a family saga that spanned several generations, and it was set in Korea and Japan. It was a great read, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in historical fiction or family sagas.

I read No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, which was a deeply interesting read, I have never read a character portrayal quite like that. I would honestly describe the main character as someone who is concering to read about. Highly reccommend if you are interested in psychological fiction

I read The Stranger by Albert Camus. An interesting read because the characters motivations for their actions seem very fickle. It's known as an example of a type of psychology known as absurdism, and I feel that description is quite apt.
