My impression from books 'January'

Two weeks ago I decided to read something and chose 'Norwegian forest' by Haruki Murakami. I hadn't read anything by Murakami before. So why did I choose 'Norwegian forest'? ... It's the novel which brought world-wide fame to Murakami, and I like Bitlz.
First, in my point of view it's a very unusual novel with a main idea 'death-life'. In the begining I couldn't realize why it's a strange for me. Then I thought about the Japanese mentality and their attitude to death. Death is a part of life for them and it's a positive part, not negative as in European culture. And it's a really strange feeling to think about death in a positive way.
Second, I found out some interesting ideas about perfectionism and priorities in life. There were some short stories of different people. Some of them were successful, some of them not, but all of them were ordinary and unusual at the same time. Life is short and we should try and do what we can, not waiting until we have become better, smarter, healthier, etc. We should live and be happy here and now. The present is the best time for everything. The past isn't changebale, the future depends on a lot of circumstancies; only the present is a reality. So we should value it and use this possibility to make our future.

Second book which I decided to read is 'Think Fast and Slow' by Danial Kahneman. I haven't finished reading yet. And my first impressions may change but I can say with all certainty that there are a lot of interesting and simple ideas which I haven't noticed before. We can manage our reactions and emotions, and we can concentrate our consciousness on the importand things and tasks. It helps us become more successful in studies, work and social life. And all we need to know is...so easy, but so difficult to use it in 'every-day-life'.

And third book which I started to read yeasterday is 'Magic Mountain' by Thomas Mann. I like this book immediately because it's a classical work, with detailed explanations, different stories, philosophical ideas. So it's not easy to read, but it's a real pleasure.

That's all about books and my impressions. I'll carry on reading and writting about it here and in my blog later.

My impressions from reading books: 'January'

Two weeks ago I decided to read something and chose 'Norwegian forest' by Haruki Murakami. I didn't haven't read anything by Murakami before.[1] Why 'Norwegian forest'...I found out that it's a novel which brought a world-wide fame to Murakami. and I like Bitlz[?]. So it caught my attention.
Firstly, in my point of view [2] it's a very unusual novel with a main idea[theme] being 'death-life'. At the beginning I couldn't realise[work out] why it's so strange and unusual for me. Then I thought about the Japanese mentality and their attitude to death. Death is a part of life for them and it's a positive part, not negative as in European culture. And it's a really strange feeling to think about death by in a positive way. [unless you're terminally ill or very depressed?]
Secondly, I found out[3] some interesting ideas about perfectionism and the priorities in life. There were some short stories of[about] different people. Some of them were successful, some of them not, but all of them were ordinary and unusual at the same time. Life is short, and we should try and do what we want, and not waiting while we became better, smarter, healthier, etc. We should live and be happy here and now. The present is the best time for everything. The past isn't changebale, the future depends on a lot of circumstancies and only the present is a reality. So we should value it and use this possibility opportunity to make create our future, not waste time to doubting and or waiting for anything [to happen].

The second book which that I decided to read is 'Think Fast and Slow' by Danial Kahneman. I haven't finished reading it yet and my first impressions may be change but I can say with all certainty that there are a lot of interesting and simple ideas which I haven't noticed before. We can manage our reactions, and emotions and so we can concentrate[focus] our consciousness on the importandt things and tasks. It helps us to be more successful in our studies, our work and our social life. And all we need to know is...so easy, but so difficult to use it in 'every-day-life'.[?]

And the third book which I started to read yeasterday is 'Magic Mountain' by Thomas Mann. I liked this book from the beginning, it's a classical work with detailed explanations, different stories, philosophical ideas. So it's not easy to read but it's a real pleasure.

That's all about books and my impressions [this month]. I'll carry on reading and writting about it here and in my blog later.

Olya, beware of writing too much, italki won't allow corrections over 8000 characters.

[1] Better: "I haven't previously read anything by Murakami."

[2] We use either "From my point of view .." or "In my opinion .."

[3] We say "I found out .." usually when someone hasn't told us directly. like:

"I found out he was cheating." or "I found out where he lives."

In your senetence, an alternative is: "I discovered some .."

I don't understand what you refer to as "Bitiz"?

There is something missing after "all we need to do is.."?
