    It's interesting how among the books i have ever read, I haven't read any of yours. Although I love
    all marvel movies, I do not really read the books. right now I am in love with Thrity Umrigar's The Space Between Us. I can relate because even it is set in India, it's just like Pinas sa hirap ng buhay, at sa dilemma ng mga tao. Read it, I recommend it.

    Thanks, Nino. I have a copy of Wind-up. Actually my first Murakami book in possession. But never got round to reading it.

    Hi GnP. I didn't know where to reply to your comment in my blog (http://islandhopper.blogspot.com -- nakss, plugging pa). But yeah,I've read Kafka on the Shore, my first Murakami. I liked it but I guess I was just getting used to Murakami's bizarre ideas. Plus there was way too much talk about cats. That and the oedipal cunnilingus aspects disqualified it from any of my fave list. I'm looking forward to reading Wind Up Bird, but the heft of the book scares me.

    Hi, GnP. Welcome to Teachers & Readers!

    Now that you've become a member of our group, do feel at home and check out the discussion threads, leave comments, or start a new one. Or help us get more teachers and readers on board.
