Thanks, Bre.

is everyone available for discussion of Long Dream by Junji Ito this saturday (tomorrow) at 4:00 PM UTC-5? make sure to double check your time zone, btw, since daylight savings time just started

 

discussion will occur in the book club discord

[ringgggg]

I'll keep an eye out

I think I should be free? Might be getting some food so I might be a little late.

[ringgggg]

@Breloomancer, can you post the questions here? Discord isn't working as expected

[TB]

Sorry for being 12 minutes late. The session went overtime a little. What is going on?

[ringgggg]

Bre wanted to chat through Discord, but I have no way of accessing it. I guess I'm sticking here

A person who's afraid of death granted the ability to live a millennia in just one night

ok, this is embarrasing; i told everyone to double check their time zones, and i'm the one who ended up getting the time wrong!

 

if discord isn't working, we can do it here. i'll post some questions now to try to prompt some discussion

 

1. what did you like about the story? what did you dislike? what parts stuck out to you?

 

2. did any of you see the film version, and if so, which version did you prefer, and why?

 

3. in the beginning of the story, tetsuro mukoda talks about how all of his dreams are unpleasant, but when mami takeshima begins having long dreams, she doesn't mention them being unpleasant. why do you think that is?

 

4. why do you think mami takeshima was so afraid of dying?

 

5. if you could choose to have an eternal dream (assuming it wasn't a nightmare), would you?
