"A significant advance in Murakami's art. . . a bold and generous book." - The New York Times Book Review

Haven't checked-in in a while. New book. :)

I almost forget to submit my #fridayreads Haruki Murakami's The Wind-up Bird Chronicle

Time to read and relax in the garden

Still reading this. Must finish in time to have tequila book club w/friends.

I'd rather read about a lost cat than watch the awkwardness of Girls. #sorry

I know it's not really the point, but w/this cat missing for days I almost feel like I haven't gotten very far in this book.

This book was recommended by a friend not really sure what to expect.

New book to read before I knock out. Hopefully the story won't infiltrate my dreams tonight... but it happens anyway.

Marathoning. Way more into it the second time reading it, oddly.

About to finish any day now...Feels very real at times

No that heifer May did NOT move the ladder and close the well! I knew something was wrong with that girl...

This is a weird book, but the weirdest thing about it is that every time I open and resume reading, the passage is about something that has a relation with my life at the moment...

I read 1Q84 first and loved it. I'm enjoying this one even more! Completely absorbing. I feel like I'm being mesmerized!

Hopefully I get to finish reading this before end of Q1.

It's sick how much I'm enjoying this... It must illegal.

I decided reading this because of the title... I had to start somewhere with Murakami.

Mr.Ushikawa..I guess I'll meet you again in 1Q84. Can't wait to finish this thic-K book of Murakami. :)

Favorite author alert! You've checked-in to three books by Haruki Murakami! Share this one proudly. It's from our friends at Random House.

Rereading this gem.

Mr. Ushikawa has a big role in 1Q84... I read this book before The Wind-Up Bird... and now I meet again with this dark man...

First Book Club book of 2012 and it's thic-K.

I am listening to The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Super boring night at the box office & everyone is talking about sports. I'm being anti-social. #exceptonTwitter

Re-reading the beginning because I was rudely interrupted by Hurricane Katrina six years ago, and only recently found the book in a box.

Murakami changed my life

Read this one before rest of trilogy, but it is the best of the three

Although I wasn't a big fan of 'Kafka On the Shore,' I promised my friend I would read both of these novels... so here I go. On pg. 90 and am trying to power thru, although I can appreciate the detail that goes into his writing. Well a promise is a promise!
