View original postMet her back in October at the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville. Very interesting/good person.

Good to know.
View original postOh, did you know there is a new Murakami coming out in August? I read the Spanish translation and it was a much shorter (around 300 pg.) read than 1Q84. Fairly decent as well, but I think the translation might have been a bit off.

I read that somewhere (did you mention it here already?), but I still haven't looked into it. Too many books to keep up with!

If it's short though... maybe I could suggest it for book club. Depends how weird it is.


It's also all in third person PoV, a first for Murakami.

Curious, why are you so interested in WWI? Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2014 07:52:31 PM 646 Views
I think it's because 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the war... Tom - 09/04/2014 08:08:19 PM 726 Views
When I was a history grad student, I focused on German cultural/religious 1914-1939 Larry - 10/04/2014 03:35:30 AM 688 Views
On the contrary - they are one of the few things that still has some semi-decent activity. Legolas - 02/04/2014 07:12:53 PM 720 Views
