Hikikomori Reads is a personal book reading project focused on Filipino and Japanese literature. The goal is to read as many books as possible, squeeze the lessons out of them, and create a blog to honor each title. Western and other Asian titles will occasionally grace the site, usually when the takeaways from them are too poignant to pass up.
By doing this project, I aim to help you, my dear readers, discover titles you might have overlooked. If we already share the same interests, I hope this blog can make you feel less alone and more understood.
Ultimately, writing for this blog is my way to share the profound, life-changing experience of finishing a good read. My mission is to chase awe by reading, believing that doing so will make me appreciate my life and the world I live in more. I hope that sharing my thoughts can reach you and make you feel the same.
