I recently read Norwegian Wood and loved it and going to read A Wild Sheep Chase next after my current... I wish I'd read Wind-up later on rather then second. I really liked it but I think I'd have appreciated it more later, especially after Norwegian Wood.
Well, I enjoyed the book and as I'm not going to be able to learn Japanese any time soon... they say ignorance is bliss and in this case it is! Because there's little more we can do about it... apart from hope that maybe one day they'll publish a full version.
Hello (hi Beth!)Thought I'd pop in.
My first was Kafka on the Shore and I really liked it. Second was Wind-up and I'm on my third now, Norwegian Wood.
I don't know what it is about Murakami. I bought Wind-up first, and without reading that I bought Kafka which I read first. A bit of a risk for an author I'd never read or heard of before that fatal discovery in the bookshop.
The bit at the end of Kafka made me squirm more then the torture scene in Wind-up which I thought was bad enough! That made my skin crawl and my hairs stand on end.
