Last year I read a lot of books from the category Art Instructions and not so much anything else. A good portion of my time was also absorbed by the presidential elections in US. I never watched CNN so much in my entire life.
Shortly after New Year's Eve I made my resolutions list. One of the them was about what I would like to read this year.
My first pick was a novel by contemporary Japanese writer Murakami. Last time I read a book by the writers of this country were Cobo Abe and Kenzaburō Ōe, but it was so long time ago that I don't even remember what those novels were about.
I am still 'digesting' The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and trying to understand how I feel about it. I feel lost and find it difficult to describe the impression it made on me, but it was worth reading for sure.
