A few years ago, someone on IRC discovered Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami and went around recommending everyone in the channel to it.  I made note to download an ebook version of it but gave up after a while.

This summer while I was in HK, I was browsing in a book store and came across a rather odd titled book.  It was called "Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World."  Read a few pages into it convinced me to get the book and after finishing it, I bought book from the same author, Haruki Murakami.

Eventualy, as I was searching for more books by him, I came across Norwegian Wood again and bought it instantly (actually, I buy all Murakami books I encoutner instantly now).  A bit over the top but quite enjoyable.  He has a bit of lofty way of storytelling and makes otherwise boring situations interesting.  Especially his dialogue, they're odd but never stagnant.

I'm a pretty big fan of Murakami now but just wondering, of the more Japanese culture-influenced 4chan population, has anyone else heard or read of this books?  What do you think of him?

So I just started reading it, and Pwyll occasionally refers to "God." Is this a reference to the Judeo-Christian god or a native Welsh deity to which the reader hasn't been introduced yet?

I need a resume of the book: The Journey To The End of The World, by Henning Mankell.

I'm not a lazy ass, but I just came back from a trip with my family and I forgot to read the book, the exam is tomorrow.

Just finished this book. The more I think about it, the more amazing it is. Really want to read more in this realm now.

I was watching a documentary and they claimed that her works are the second most influential after the Bible. I find this rather hard to believe.
