Happy New Year and good luck with your challenge.
How's the Murakami book looking?
I just finished my first book from him (Norwegian book) and maybe looking for another one somewhere in the next months.
Recommended?


Happy New Year to you too. If you enjoyed Norwegian Wood, I think you'll very much love The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. It's a lot more surreal and bizarre than Norwegian Wood but since you're already familiar with his writing style, you should thoroughly enjoy it.
@Nattily Kafka is the next Murakami I want to read and I'm still deciding whether to follow that up with 1Q84 or The Wild Sheep Chase. So many books, so little time!!
