Co znaczy: „spróbuję wsiąść"? Przecież „spróbować wsiąść" i „wsiąść" to ostatecznie jedno i to samo. Czy skręcisz w prawo na próbę, czy z pełnym przekonaniem, twój los będzie taki sam. Jedno i drugie jest nieodwołalne. Z chwilą, gdy spróbujesz, twój los zostaje przypieczętowany. W życiu nie robi się niczego „na próbę". "Spróbować coś zrobić" oznacza po prostu zrobienie tego.
Otogizōshi: Księga japońskich opowieści
I should’ve done this ages ago but 2020′s gotta 2020. This is more for me than anyone else, but if any of my mutuals happen to see that I played one of their favourite games or read one of their favourite books, then there ya go.

Game: Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Crimson Flower)
February:
Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market (Cassandra Clare)
Game: Undertale
March:

Dazai's take on classic japanese fairy tales is very interesting.
He doesn't focus on the plot or even "the moral". The characters are what is important for him. Their personalities and goals.
The book is a deep psychology study and the folk stories are just the background.
I only wish he would left the readers more space for their own interpretation. Sometimes I felt like Dazai is forcing his own opinion on me.
The thing I enjoyed the most was the type of narrative: It felt really light and casual, as if he wrote down his thoughts exactly the way he would have said them out loud.
“Perhaps this method of extending hospitality is in fact of the truest, noblest sort. Greet the guests and then forget about them. You leave sumptuous delicacies casually scattered about, and even the music and dance are spontaneous and unpretentious- not performed to impress anyone. Princess Oto thinks not of the listeners when she plays the harp, nor do the fish concern themselves with who might be watching as they flit about in absolute freedom. No one’s anxious to be praised by the guests. And the guests, for their part, don’t have to be careful about expressing their admiration. They can, if they choose, merely stretch out and pay no attention to the entertainment whatsoever. It’s no breach of etiquette to simply get high and let the music carry you away. “Yes this is the way it should be. This is how guests ought to be received! I see that now. It’s a far cry from the supposedly genteel hospitality of those small-minded schemers who press tasteless food upon their visitors, spout insincere compliments, roar with laughter at witless witticisms, feign astonishment at the most commonplace anecdotes, and exchange endless, meaningless social pleasantries. I’d love to show them how a truly magnanimous host entertains a guest. Just once I’d like them to see the treatment one gets here at the Dragon Palace! All they think of is their social standing. They tremble with fear at the thought of it slipping, and they regard their guests with wary eyes, running around in frantic circles with no more sincerity in their hearts than you could find in the last speck of dirt beneath their fingernails. ‘I shall treat you to a cup of sake.” I shall drink to your health.’ It might as well be a business contract. Disgusting!”

Rewatched Otogi Zoshi twice recently and I'm still upset,,,,,
御伽草子 (Otogizoshi)
Otogizoshi refers to a group of approximately 350 Japanese prose narratives written primarily in the Muromachi Period. These illustrated stories together form one of the representative literary genres of the Japanese medieval era.
