I didn't love it as much as you but I thought it was an "easy" read (in the sense that a book this odd can be "easy.") <br /><br />WELL DONE!<br /><br />Now answer me this: Who do you think murdered Nutmeg's husband?

This book has been sitting on my shelf like forever. Also intimidated by its size. However, having said that, I have read a few of Murakami's books and loved every single one of them, including his memoir about running.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623394887320093229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-15645725060101690002013-05-15T13:40:52.481-04:002013-05-15T13:40:52.481-04:00I really need to read Murakami, but am kind of afr...I really need to read Murakami, but am kind of afraid this one is beyond me!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-31269362985050017192013-05-14T22:11:41.762-04:002013-05-14T22:11:41.762-04:00I tried one of his books...Kafka on the Shore...an...I tried one of his books...Kafka on the Shore...and I did not get far..it did not grab me at all. <br />Maybe the book...maybe my mood at the time..but do I want to take a chance on another 600 page book with my thing against Giant Books...hmmmmm...caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-32731727669789993002013-05-14T21:39:10.685-04:002013-05-14T21:39:10.685-04:00I love your description of the book at the end :)

It is indeed a bit strange but that's what I find interesting. It is a totally different read than usual. I must say though that there is not one character that I like. I am hoping that Toru redeems himself because right now I am finding him to be so self indulgent I want to give him a swift kick in the ol arse.<br /><br />Sandy, you did a spot on review!
