Tea and Cakes

Right, lets get some books posted - I’m about 6 months behind on them. Although I’ve for some reason been reading less in these last 6 months there are still quite a few books to post.

Kafka on the Shore was one of my summer holiday reads. I’m a fan of Murakami, but at times when I’m reading his books I wonder why - they can be quite bleak at times. Once I’ve finished them though they stay with me as books I really enjoyed. Weird.
This was lighter than The Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood (the others I’ve read), and would make a good introduction to him.
The characters are odd, but you really get into their heads, and the story itself is a little bizarre but nice too.
