I love Haruki Murakami and have been collecting his books for a while. I dont have his first ever books as they are so rare and hard to find but I have around 9 of his other books and my favourite is The wind up bird chronicle.
I'm currently reading Kafka on the shore which I've read before but couldn't quite get my head around it so since its a lovely spring day I thought I would give it another read.
I dont have his new book yet but once I've finished this one I'm gonna buy it! :D
Sigh, not only do I want to go to Japan but I wish I could speak the language
I suggest anyone who is interested to give one of his books a read :) Especially Norwegian Wood :)
A friend of ours just had his book published! It's even listed on Goodreads :)
I'm so excited to read it. About to make a chai & curl up in the big comfy chair.
Celebrating Todaysposting #300 :)
