My love affair with Haruki Murakami

Can't get enough of his stories. The last four books that I've read are Sputnik Sweetheart, Dance Dance Dance, Kafka on the Shore, and A Wild Sheep Chase (it's okay to read Dance Dance Dance first before A Wild Sheep, I think). And I want to read more.

You might want to give South of the Border, West of the Sun (or something like that) a try. I think I have a compilation of his short stories on my PC somewhere, too.

will do, harvey. thanks! medyo tamad lang ako maghanap sa bookstores ngayon kasi dami work. i think some of his short stories are compiled in The Elephant Vanishes, tama ba? :)

Yeah, pero depending on the bookstore, mahal yung compilation. I can check Powerbooks sa Megamall kung meron if you want, kasi Ortigas nanaman work ko.

@harvey: may bago ka nanaman work at sa Ortigas ulit? what happened?

@gail: hehe. magugustuhan mo siya kung nagustuhan mo yung Para Kay B. actually si Megan ang nag-introduce saken kay Murakami kasi parang magkahawig daw sila ni Ricky Lee magsulat. pero later on, na-realize ko din na no, hindi naman sila masyadong magkatulad.
