Haruki Murakami

I'm hooked.

I was the the Stock Exchange's library studying for my exam today so I browsed the Literature shelves for a while. I found 'South of the border, west of the Sun' by Haruki Murakami, this one was translated to Thai by someone unknown to me. It couldn't compare to Kafka on the shore, I finished reading this short story without being intriqued. Or it's more honest to say I didn't really get what the core idea of the story is.
...
Maybe that's the point, maybe that supposed to be the charm of the story. I'm just not sophisticated enough to appreciate it.

The following week I met a friend who's a Murakami fan and he had the whole collection, 7 books that I haven't read. I told him that Kafka is supposedly the best of Murakami works and he got all defensive. His favorite was Norwegian Wood and he wanted to believe that it's the best. He had yet to read Kafka. This whole situation worked in my favor! I made a deal to borrow his 7 books in exchange of loaning him my one Kafka book!

After reading a few books including my friend's favorite, I still insist that Kafka is Murakami's all time best story.

sorry..
