O, and to add, I just finished reading Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami.
Awful awful awful awful book.
awwwwwwwwful.
i'm so sad. and disappointed.
i'm now turned off from murakami. you can only have so many successes, before you hit the rotten egg. it will be awhile before I can devote myself to him again. so tragic.
my next book shall be a classic...animal farm perhaps. waiting for the library to deliver it to me sooooon. =)
Books can make horrible relationships... I'm reading the Journey to the West now... and it's so unfair that the monkey king was imprisoned inside of a mountain as punishment because the story is a millionth as exciting without him! I don't know whether I should wait for him to come back to me or just move on to greener pastures... heh.
ReplyDeleteJourney of the West! I love watching the TV Show when I was a kid! and OMG! I just reminded myself to read your blog and boy I'm glad that you're committing to this! Didn't expect you to update this much! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you hated the book, the most famous one is Norwegian Wood, you should still give Murakami a chance!
Yea, I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Norwegian Wood. And I really like half of wind-up bird chronicles (I really wanna finish it one day), and that east west sun border one was decent.
ReplyDeletebut Dance Dance Dance, my GOD. AWFUL.
I think its the translator's fault.
no, i definitely know its the translator's fault. he's a different translator than some of murakami's better books.
so, when i've cooled down, i'll go back to the good guy. =)
and journey to the west...i've never read it, or seen the show...and i only vaguely know the story...how shameful of me. i'll read up on it on wikipedia right now. :)
