Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words | Jay Rubin

30. International Jazz Day for #MayMontage

Most of Murakami's works have been influenced by music, most notably Classical and Jazz.
It's a widely known fact that music lover Murakami owned and ran a Jazz Bar in the 1970s.

Also checking in for last weekend's #20in4 #Readathon - which didn't add up to much timewise ⬇️

Yuki_Onna ... continued - My cold hindered me quite a bit from reading, I slept most of the time... 🤧😴
But I got a chunk of pages read of both of my current reads, so it went fine nevertheless.✌️ 11mo
