43 - Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, by Haruki Murakami, 362 pages, Random House Vintage Books, 2006
WHY I PICKED IT: I typically read everything by Murakami
ELAPSED TIME: 3 weeks
RATING: Good
Murakami writes two types of stories: Considered and developed characters that fall in love, and bizarre tales that I barely understand. This book had both. 24 short stories... a few were really great; others I barely understood; and at least one that seemed to fall into the first category but slid into the second category.
I recommend only if you love Murakami... and short stories.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
