by Haruki Murakami, Jay Rubin , Philip Gabriel
Couldn't get past Page 19 or so. It's not you, Haruki, it's me, OK? I just think, you know, what I felt for you all those years ago has somehow changed. What seemed fresh and endearing, now seems over-long, full of exposition and, you know, dull. I think it would help if we maybe had time away from each other. Just for a bit, maybe. And, you know, if you wanted to see other editors, I'm cool with that. No, I really am cool with that. But we are still friends, OK? It's not you, it's me, OK?

That bad, eh? I wasn't really inspired to dig into that one, may keep it that way

I really do think it's more just me. Maybe my tastes have changed. And it's unfair to write off a book based only on the first 19 pages. Perhaps it's only fair to say it didn't grab me.
I'd say it's him. But really, his books are all soft porn about longing for young women hot for older guys. Not a fan.So happy to see someone else in Japan who isn't a crazed fan.
Damn, if I'd known there were gonna be some nubile young women after old farts (like me) I might have given him a second chance...
