I swear, I could read only Murakami books for the rest of time. This collection of excerpts and short stories kept me entertained and wondering. I especially loved the tale of the little green monster that proclaims his love to the lady- Murakami somehow manages to make me feel hate and pity for the little guy at the same time- I was completely conflicted. An incredible task that few authors can accomplish. Another great book from my favorite author!
