Another Murakami book ticked off the 1001 book list. I have to say that one of the real joys of the 1001 list is being introduced to authors like Murakami who I have come to love. Overall this not my favourite book though although I did especially enjoy Super frog saves Tokyo. Although the short stories are good, quirky and beautifully written they are just too short to really let Murakami fly.
Received through the post today - thanks very much :)
I've read a full length Murakami and enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to this thinner volume.

I enjoyed these short stories which were all set just after an earthquake in Kobe. I did find that I'd have liked most of them to carry on though as I wanted to know what happened next. They were all nicely quirky and have made me feel like reading more by the author.

This has been damaged due to a damp problem in the house so unfortunately has had to be disposed of.
