because...

haruki murakami is something else.

i find his ideas either insane or brilliant.

though if you read his stories, you find some repetition of themes and plot structure, he is incrediably inaginative.

going to sit at the bottom if a well to think things over?

an old man that talks to cats?

a second moon in an alternate universe?

tons of insanity and absurd situations!!

i like his full novels more than his shorts or non fictional essays, but it could be that some were not translated orvi just couldnt get them.

my favorite of his is the windup bird chronicle. just outstanding.

i wish i could write like that, and i try and i fail.wish i could write like that, and i try and i fail.
