Now that I am on a
Haruki Murakami kick, I thought I should read Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of
the World. I started the book on the plane to Istanbul and didn’t
feel like I got into it as quickly as the other two I read. That might
have been because it also took me the longest to read (or maybe it took
me the longest to read because I didn’t get into it as quickly as the
other two, who knows?) I felt like this was the most resolved of the
three I’ve read so far and I really liked it a lot by the end. For
reasons I can’t really put into words, Kafka is still my favorite one. I
have three more Murakami books on my shelf and look forward to reading
every single one.
I truly owe a big thank you to the AskMe crowd for introducing me to
this great author.
