How’s come? And how was the Murakami?

March is going to be a busy month!
The Murakami had its bright points but didn’t hold me for all 400 pages. I’m a very weird person, and it was too weird for me! I still like Norweigian Wood the best, since it is more emotional and less aloof than anything else I’ve read from him.

so which of these would you recommend most passionately?

My favorite was Full Dark House, a quirky, well written mystery. Also, I’d recommend giving The Memory Artists a shot if you’re looking for a new voice in fiction, or River of Shadows if you want some thought-provoking historical Americana.
