Since reading Kafka on the Shore, I couldn’t stop
thinking about the book, so recently I went and bought another one by
Murakami. I picked The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel
because it’s the novel that made Murakami famous in the US. This book
is considerably longer and thicker than Kafka and more convoluted. It
resolves a bit more but not a huge lot. There were bits that were
common to both novels but that didn’t bother me. I feel like maybe if
I read more of his work, I might get closer to solving the puzzle of
his stories. I now have to go buy all of his books. Easy to read,
difficult to understand.

Hi, Just writing to say that I loved that book Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I read a few of his others but didn’t like them as much. Norwegian Wood was pretty good. I’ll have to check out Kafka on the Shore. By the way I used to read your blog a few years ago and just thought of it again today and decided to take a look. So much has changed. At the time I used to read your blog daily, I lived in San Francisco and you in NYC. You were single but living with Jake and it was around the time you quit your job and did Teach for America. Now I live in the boondocks of Pennsylvania and you’re in CA and you are married with a child!! I’m so happy for you and I’m really glad to see you’ve kept up your blog. Good luck with your interview at Google. Will you be moving to the Bay Area if you get it?
