I have read a few Japanese books now (translated obviously, I’m not that clever) and they have been imaginative and a little eccentric with a philosophical tone. I’m sure there are others which are not like that, but I guess the quirkier ones are those that are picked up for translation!
Norwegian Wood is my favourite Murakami.
Thanks for commenting ☺

I salute you! I am still learning how to do that! However, I’m still going to add that book to my TBR! And I love that cover! Spoke to me 😀

Murakami being the last one I tried (excluding all the manga I’m reading) and he sure does have quite the imagination. It’s nice to see that even if it was so obvious to you that it was targeting a Japanese audience, you were still able to enjoy this. Great review!

Thank you Jee! 🙂
That’s an accurate description of the kind of read it is.
I know it’s hard to get into a book sometimes when the kids are around 😉
I have learnt to block out the noise and just keep reading 😀

Quiet and slow. Great for a ‘me time’ read for me but probably not at the moment with two kids lol Love your review, NS! ❤️
