I took this on the plane with me to Austin this week. F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn't help me fend off a talkative plane neighbor, unfortunately. I don't know if I'll finish it. I kept rereading paragraphs over and over again.
I had read The Lovely Bones a long time ago and thought I would give this one a try. I had to finish it to see what happened, though it wasn't my favorite.
This is the first non-fiction I have read by Haruki Murakami. Not a disappointment and a quick read.
Okay, okay, so he's my favorite. This one ended up being the (sort of) sequel to The Wild Sheep Chase, so I ate it up.
I was surprised (and happy) to find that my local library had a Murakami book of short stories. I found out, in the forward, that his pattern of writing is novel-short stories-novel-short stories-novel...
This was a late birthday present from a friend. I'd wanted it ever since I found out she had a book. It's nicely put together and a great break from a novel. I never knew she had a "yearbook leg."
