I read anything that I can get my hands on, mostly fiction.

My challenge: To read the classics and more non-fiction, but really need some recommendations on the latter.

So much to read, so little time!

    I started with Sputnik Sweetheart but I like Norwegian Wood and South of the Border West of the Sun much better.Kafka on the Shore is also one of his major works.It depends on your taste:if you prefer fantasy,start with Kafka on the Shore but if you prefer realism(as I do)start with Norwegian Wood.
    I hope you like his works.I'm a big fan and I'd really love to have discussions about them or find out about other people's point of view:)

    I've read most of Murakami's novels and short stories and I really enjoyed reading all of them.I think you should give it a try.

    Hello Arielle

    I'm fine,thanks.
    I've read 80 pages of the book so far and I like it.I guess it can be one of my favorites too.I also watched the movie based on the book a couple of years ago.
    These days I'm reading the last Murakami novel too.How do you like his works?

    Ok, so one of my cats is finding the smell of the book very interesting! Do you have cats, by any chance? I know that would do it, for sure!

    That was it! Yay! Thanks so much, and I love the bookmarks from Malta! I'm going to do that next time - find a bookmark or postcard or something from Canada. I love that idea! :-)

    Hi! I think my book is at the post office. They tried to deliver something to my house today, but I wasn't home so they left a note that I have to go pick it up. I'm assuming it's the book. I won't get to the post office till Tuesday or Wednesday, but I'll let you know if that's what it is!!! :-)

    Hi Arielle. I've sent you a private message with my mailing address. Let me know if you don't get it. I've found there are a few people who don't recieve my private messages from shelfari, so I just wanted to let you know to be on the lookout for the message. Thanks!
