Never have I enjoyed a short story collection so much. Reading Murakami is also a lesson in cultivating empathy and appreciating literature for its life lessons.
I’ve read two Murakami books: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, which I found to be quiet and haunting, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, which was every bit as inane and repetitive as the ridiculous title he gave his book. I guess we’re all allowed to succeed and fail at the same time, right?

Right!
Yes and I guess that’s what my son was trying to tell me. Not all the stories worked for me but several spoke to me on so many levels…..
I definitely should get myself a copy. Thanks for the great tip, Kalpana!
