And here was me thinking nobody could be any slower than Murakami's English translators... Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2011 07:06:56 PM
Apparently someone can. It's rather amusing that you say "lucky you" to English readers, though I suppose they might take some small measure of satisfaction in the knowledge some people do have to wait even longer.

I've yet to read any Murakami, but it seems that one is not a bad place to start.

I'm reading A Farewell to Arms, very slowly kHz1000 - 10/10/2011 04:36:53 PM 868 Views
Reading. Yeah, I remember that. Tom - 10/10/2011 06:27:36 PM 1123 Views
That's a bit how I'm feeling these days. I read, but I don't remember anything. *NM* Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:37:15 PM 426 Views
The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2011 10:42:39 PM 434 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 981 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 912 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 948 Views
SMOOTH READ? That book is the definition of a choppy, disjointed piece of shit. Tom - 19/10/2011 08:30:22 PM 992 Views
