A Challenge.....

As a follower of Murakami on Facebook, I came across this reading challenge for the new year. I have to admit, I have only read two of the author's novels, 'A Wild Sheep Chase' and 'Kafka on the Shore'. However, they were so wonderful that I found myself following the author on my social network of choice.


After such a great experience with the two Murakami books I read, I decided to accept this challenge for the new year. Lucky for me, an individual who doesn't read more than 10 books per year, there are several levels of readership to consider. I am going to strive for the 'Sheep Man' level by reading 3 books. The first will be one which has been on my to-do list for some time, 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicles'. Any Murakami readers out there have any suggestions for the other two?

Kafka on the shore was my entry into Murakami's world, and have been a happy resident ever since.

Glad to have you join the challenge! I re-read Wind-up Bird Chronicle last year and it was one of my top reads of the year. Looking forward to hearing about the Murakami books you choose this year. Happy reading!

i've read a handful of murkami's books, and "norwegian wood" is by far my fave.
