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.

- Visualizing the quote... - the canvas version of my encounter art assignment under construction arrived.
- The sky looked surprisingly similar today (see the comment field):
Fragility conveys tension or balance, illustrate a person or object in a fragile state., post it then Tag it with #TP416 - Environment Emotion; convey a feeling or state of mind either in the subject or something that you are emotional about. How best to deliver an image that shows us the emotion or the activity leading up to or after the crunch point or the thing that is making you emotional such as filling the frame perhaps.

and the heart of the great ocean
