I'd heard about Murakami (<i>Kafka on the Shore</i>, mostly) but didn't really know anything about him or even the style / genre of the books. It was a pleasant surprise!<br /><br />:)Pacze Mojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455647830303860446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-32045038368356445212011-04-06T08:19:47.089-07:002011-04-06T08:19:47.089-07:00I read that Brazil have invited Japan to the 2015 ...I read that Brazil have invited Japan to the 2015 Copa which they will be hosting. If that is true, then Japan will get another chance and that will be nice. If Spain take Japan's place, then seeing them in the same group as Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay will be fascinating.<br /><br />I love Hard boiled wonderland. I remember buying that book without having read any reviews and I was so impressed that I have been reading other works of his. I know friends who cite his Wind-Up Bird Chroniclen as a fav but for me Hard Boiled is still the best. So even I am curious to see how Kafka on the shore stacks up.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-68084617482366048192011-04-06T04:07:59.914-07:002011-04-06T04:07:59.914-07:00Sad, but understandable.

Brazil will probably be happy: at least they might get a competitive game against Spain before they host the World Cup.<br /><br />I'm curious about <i>Kafka on the Shore</i>. I read my first Murakami last year (<i>Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World</i>) and enjoyed it quite a bit.Pacze Mojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455647830303860446noreply@blogger.com
