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

I 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.

BarbaraBB I hadn‘t heard of this one but it sounds good 6mo
rachelk @BarbaraBB I recommend it :) 6mo

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...

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie emailed him and I don‘t think she heard anything. I hope he‘s ok! 6mo
Eggs @EadieB reported he‘s okay 6mo
TheSpineView Happy Reading! 6mo

Road 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. 😁

sisilia Hahahaha I have love hate relationship with Murakami 8mo
Ruthiella Enjoy your trip! I‘ve only read Norwegian Wood and it was okay. (edited) 8mo

But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair."
