When you find the time to read this one I feel certain you'll agree.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-41432603711196051932012-07-09T13:55:13.061+08:002012-07-09T13:55:13.061+08:00i really love his books and i bet this one is as g...i really love his books and i bet this one is as good as the othersmobbhttp://www.reviewmo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-28578092769891598402012-07-08T16:53:18.184+08:002012-07-08T16:53:18.184+08:00you're in America right? you may want this pre...you're in America right? you may want this pretty boxset of 1Q84: http://tinyurl.com/bbbg1q84<br /><br />I'm sure I must have mentioned it previously but check out the adaptation of the short Murakami story Tony Takitani, it's the only adaptation I've enjoyed so far.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-8880086499906800892012-07-08T06:56:37.926+08:002012-07-08T06:56:37.926+08:00Yes!

Thank you for reminding me about 1Q84, definitely need to get a copy of that when it is in paperback.<br /><br />I need to read Dance Dance Dance, as I haven't yet, but it's Murakami (who is one of my favourite writers), so of course it's going to be solid - plus with your recommendation, too!<br /><br />And definitely check out After Dark as soon as you can! It's a really quick read, too - not very long at all.Cherokeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147334445332458371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-39009857685118266852012-07-07T21:18:14.855+08:002012-07-07T21:18:14.855+08:00Thank you!

The same is true of my favourite Murakami, Dance Dance Dance. <br /><br />After Dark is on my shelf waiting to be read and is the only novel of his that I'm yet to read infact. Well 1Q84 is coming out in a 2 part paperback set soon and then there will be two.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-32624789071986202952012-07-07T20:26:56.865+08:002012-07-07T20:26:56.865+08:00Murakami is such a powerful writer, one of the bes...Murakami is such a powerful writer, one of the best of this generation, and I think it'd be hard to find others that would disagree!<br /><br />This is definitely one of my favourites of his, and like you mentioned, it starts off as being a kind of love story, but then turns into something completely different and completely surreal, the kind of stuff I love in his work.<br /><br />Have you read After Dark by the way? If not, I urge you to as it is such a simple, wonderfully written book. <br /><br />So looking forward to reading your reviews on more books now! Definitely inspired me to follow more book-review blogs, too.Cherokeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147334445332458371noreply@blogger.com
