Post /shelf/, current book and age

I was like 15 when I read it and even though my english was still good enough I just didn't really consider reading books in english.
I read clockwork orange in english for an essay I had to write for my english class and I read the sailor in english bc the german print is pretty expensive fsr
I actually didn't finish it bc it was quite boring

I read the sailor. It was such a chore to read. I don't know what it was but it just didn't read as smoothly as yukios other works such as sun and steel and confession of a mask. As I was reading it I felt like I was reading in like 4 frames per second is the best way I can describe it.

What do you see in Sailor? I'm reading the John Nathan translation and so far it's really not touching me at all. The prose is uninteresting to me and so far the story seems like one I can't understand without being Japanese. I thought I had a bad English translation but I guess John Nathan is the only one.

I enjoy it, but I'm not that excited to read it. I've actually kind of forgotten about it lately bc I've been playing yakuza 0 nonstop.
Anyway, I''ve read almost the half and so far I like where it's going. The only thing that frustrates me is the vocabulary. I don't know shit about sailing so I have to look up so many words.

I get what you mean, the sentences are weirdly structured but I thought that the translation is at fault here. I still like his style though, it's very poetic and I learn how to articulate things better as I am reading the book.
Yeah like I said the sentences have a weird flow to them but honestly I can live with that. I'm halfway through the book and I like it so far but there's nothing that blew me away or anything like that.

I don't particularly like the work of Hesse- what do you see in him?

Herr der Fliegen sounds pretty badass though, not gunna lie

I guess I could easily identify with the protagonists in his book - reserved, somewhat of an outsider, confused, socially anxious etc. Looking back at it I don't love his works as much as I used to but they still hold a special place in my heart bc they got me through some tough high school years. They're also quite comfy to read. I love dostoevsky but sometimes I have to think twice to completely understand a particular sentence of his.

Note, I didn't take an updated picture. I've added a few book since, but nothing noteworthy.
