YOU, get some rest while I try overtaking you.
PS: Got my hands on Dance Dance Dance and Norwegian Woods by Murakami.
Nice! I won't have to buy them now.
Cheers!
Vanity fair :P
Sure, why not?
Hey NF...thinking of reading marakami...which one do you suggest i give a try?
@Abhishek: Since I've read only Sputnik Sweetheart and Hard Boiled Wonderland...there's not much I can provide.
If you're into Science Fictional stuff then you'll like Hard Boiled...very much (more so since it was written in 1985!). It's more like cyberpunk meets fantasy.
The other one is a nice little romantic book though with the obligatory Murakami touch that makes elevates it from the standard romance fiction.
Take your pick!
