I hope that you get more out of than I did.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - I'm not a Murakami fan but I have it on audio and I guess I'll survive...

Have you read the first one? If not it's generally agreed to be much funnier and a better book all around. It makes Love in a Cold Climate better once you've read it as well imo because you already have some attachment to many of the characters.

Unfortunately, I have not read the first book. Reading the first book first clearly makes too much sense. I just did this with another pair of books on the list too, and apparently did not learn my lesson. I have heard that The Pursuit of Love is a better book overall. I am enjoying this one so far, though.

He's comical and some of his adventures bring humor to ones day. Enjoy! :-)

[Sarah]

Started In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu.

[Nicola]

The Sun Also Rises - My only other Hemingway has been The Old Man and the Sea which I found very 'meh'. I noted at the time that I thought a lot of what people saw in the book were their own thoughts and interpretations and not the authors; thereby crediting Hemingway with a depth and subtlety that he didn't intend. So far this novel seems to be following the same pattern.
