Read and sleep:)

layerOne of the happy but upsetting things these days is that I fall asleep while I am reading, with the light on. Yes, I love reading in my futon and reading and sleeping without knowing it is the happy part. But I wake up in the very-early morning, around 4 a.m, to find the light of the room is on (I don't have a just reading light now), which is the bad part of the whole thing. I wish I could do reading during the daytime.
Anyway, I read a book last week, as I planned. It is a collection of short stories by Shinji Ishii, and each story has a bit horrifying and fantasy feel. Some of them are a little grotesque, surreal, but at the same time very real. I love his books and this one, too.

最近、布団の中で本を読み(これめっちゃシアワセ!!)、そのまま寝てしまう・・・が続いて、はっと目覚めると朝4時だったりして、そこに蛍光灯が煌煌とついてるのが後悔の種というか、あーまたやっちまった、もったいない><、と反省の日々。週1冊本を読む、いいなぁと思ったので、先週図書館へ行って借りたうちの1冊を読んだ(小説または随筆じゃないものは同時進行でぱらぱら楽しみつつ)。いしいしんじ著「白の鳥と黒の鳥」、短編集。やっぱり独特の毒のあるぬめぬめ感がありつつ透明で、超空想的なのに現実的。怖いような可愛いような。矛盾が一緒くたになって作り上げられている世界、好きだなぁ、と思った。ついでに表紙の絵も好きだ。

  1. Oh that sounds like my kind of book. I lvoe short stories especially those that are mysteries or scary.

    Currently I am reading Sherlock Holmes. I also only get to read at night in bed. Just not enough time in the day to read...

    Hi, thanks for coming by:)
    Short stories are often difficult, brain-tangling, and impossible to understand. But I enjoy them:) I leave difficult thing as it is, not trying to understand it, haha.

    Sherlock Holmes I haven't read much. I read and loved the series of Arsène Lupin:)

    カラダにワルいもん、あいだあいだでめっちゃ食ってますから!>m<
    なんか、性格なんだろうけど、一気食いをしてしまうんよね・・・チョコでもスナック菓子でもぺろっと一箱、とか。
    ここに書くのは夜ご飯メニウだけやもんなぁ。。。いっそ全部書いた方が反省材料として役立ちそうな気がする!でも恥ずかしくて書けーん(/-\*)

    早寝早起きが基本で一番!って思うんだけど、これがなかなか・・・^^;

  5. Oh Arsène Lupin is awesome. I really enjoyed it as well. I understand what you mean about short complex stories though. LOL
