panAs a die hard Murakami fan I had to fight my way through this book. It pains me to admit that it‘s extremely dull and it was hard work persisting. I have no idea how it was published because nothing about it is engaging. A huge disappointment #murakami
July — You Like It Darker
August — The Elephant Vanishes
I can‘t decide which collection of short stories I preferred. They were both excellent! Hmmm… #topread2024 #readingbracket
pickI absolutely loved this early (1994) collection of 17 surreal short stories with the haunting, mysterious, dream like qualities I have come to associate with Murakami.

I'll treat it as a #20in4 - where I don't really aim for a full 20 hours, I just track my reading time and try to read as much as possible over the four days.

Also, does somebody know how @Andrew65 is? He hasn't posted for so long...
panRoad tripping to NYC, my partner and I listened to the tagged Murakami novel. . . and, we hated it. This is my second attempt at reading him (I bailed on IQ84) and I just do.not.get.it! 😳 Honestly it reminded me why I don't read many male authors. 🤷
But I'm in New York City for 5 days and I get to meet up with @sarahbarnes so life is pretty good. 😁
