About

Although reading has been a passion of mine for years now, I have found that there aren't usually many people around me who are particularly interested in hearing about it. This website is an attempt at sharing that passion, whilst also learning more about rudimentary web development. Here, I share any musings inspired by what I have been reading, my book reviews, and my reading list. Infrequently, I share other projects of mine, such as art projects and other writings.

I believe that writing about or discussing the media that one consumes helps them to avoid mindless consumption. In a world where this kind of unthinking state is so commonplace, this website is a tiny way I try to avoid that particular pitfall.

I'm not very fond of how other social media platforms function, nor their lack of individuality, nor their insistence on short-form content, so they didn't feel suitable.

The website name is inspired by one of my favourite mangas, Kodama Maria Bungaku Shuusei. It's romantic and genuine and literary; everything I adore rolled up into one lovely package. It explores literature through the eyes of someone who truly loves it, and all of its little facets. It's a brilliant testament to the beauty of literature.

The manga screenshots shared throughout the pages on my site are all from either 児玉まりあ文学集成 (Kodama Maria Bungaku Shuusei) or シメジ シミュレーション (Shimeji Simulation), both of which I recommend highly.
