My Two Favorite Books: Norwegian Woods and Ancient Futures
As many of us do, I spend or at least try to spend as much time as possible reading because as it is usually said, through books I get a lot of things related to different fields and it enriches me emotionally. By now I read many books and I have several books I liked of which there are two that I like most recently: Norwegian Woods and Ancient Futures. Let me talk about these two books.
They have more differences than similarities. For example, Norwegian Woods is a fiction while Ancient Futures is a non fiction, more specifically an essay. On the one hand, the former is around 440-page book. On the other hand, the latter is approximately 220-page, that is, the first one is much thicker than the second one. Third difference is author’s nationality. Norwegian Woods is written by a Japanese author named Haruki Murakami. However, the Ancient Futures are by Norwegian writer, Helena Norberg Hordge. Lastly, the first one is more emotional than the second one which is rather narrative and descriptive about social phenomena and the unique culture of Ladakh.
Despite these several differences, these two books have some similarities which are interesting to me. All of the two books are first-person writings. This makes me approaching closely to each situation. Even if there is different extent between the two, they are both quite emotional writings. Since Norwegian Woods is a fiction and a story about twentieth young people around several love stories, it is undoubtedly very emotional. Similarly, the other one, Ancient Futures written by a sociologist, is quite emotional and subjective according to the author’s different perspectives on certain things.
Both have their own unique characteristics which make each more special, distinguished by one another. At the same time, for these similarities, I can say without any hesitation that those two are my favorite books and I could strongly recommend people to read.
