Another book about Asian Literature, and I am quite excited to start reading this book. Wishlist reading another Asian Literature book at the same time with another normal classic book. I am quite surprised and am quite intrigued in the story itself, the mystery of the whole thing of how everyone is somehow forgets something after an object forgets and simply continue with their life, but just keep remembering. Somehow this novel is lesion to learn from it. For example, in my understanding is some things you simply must let go and not let them linger on if it makes sense. Yet sometimes you cannot always have control of the things you want in life, and some other times the control slips and such.

Chapter 1:
||Another book about Asian Literature, and I am quite excited to start reading this book. Wishlist reading another Asian Literature book at the same time with another normal classic book. - The first line of the first chapter is a right of way hook line that drew me right in and wanting to find out what is this mystery about disappearing things and forgotten things is all about. ||
Chapter 2:
||it quite a mystery to me how these things just disappear, and the people simply forget what they were previously. Like why did the bird felt like they wanted to leave? Also, I am quite interested to know more about these so-called memory police which is their first appearance and of course the title of the book itself… roll the credits.||
Chapter 10: Its nice of the main character to help her editor hide out from the memory police but at the same time I am not sure if I had overlooked it but, in what part was a letter send to him? Because I do not recall a thing about so. But I know that the memory police had become brutal with no warning at all, and quite curious about the memory police inner system and all.
Chapter 19: This chapter when the novels where the next thing that disappear had me in a thinking and I started to imagine what would the world be like if such things were in truth to our real world. Imagine the people with their inventive minds could not be able to write or explain their story trough writing if books have not been real at all. I know stories can be said by word of mouth but soon that too can be changed and jumbled up from its original said story if I am making sense.
Chapter 20: I am seeing a connection to the main character novel and her novel but the female in the novel is instead R.
Chapter 24: Noo not the old man :C
Chapter 25: what the actual fuck? HOW THE FUK IS THAT POSSIBLE!!! I am so off put by this that this book just became overly funny and off putting at the same time. What is even this chapter?! and the police both have their own set of legs? This whole place is an experiment of sorts.
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ WHAT DID I FEEL WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK? ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
The book itself was an okey book not wonderful I kind of had lost interest halfway in the book itself, that half of the time I was wondering okey that disappears this disappeared, and over all I was upset that the old man died, he was the best useful character in the whole story. Also, Chapter 25 wanted me to dnf the whole book, that chapter just made no sense whatsoever and did not need to be there at all. yet in the end I had taken this to my own consideration. The novel is lesion to learn from it. For example, in my understanding the things you simply must let go and not let them linger on if it makes sense. Yet sometimes you cannot always have control of the things you want in life, and other times the control slips and such.
