I read through Murakamis works a few years ago, and I liked them so much that I'm going through them again. I found out that the first three were part of a set, so I'm reading them in order this time.

strangely, that is exactly how i felt. maybe it's also about not having the right focus, i realised i enjoy murakami's novels a lot more when i have time to do long reading sessions - not the case at the moment, i'm busy and i lacked focus.
so i was drawn to the story which is why i didn't give up on reading, but i found it hard to go back to reading. very strange. i still appreciated the creativity and the originality of this writer tho, he can be really surreal!

Can never get rid of this helpless obsession of how Haruki Murakami exposes the plots, and for sure including this book as well. I love how he used "a sheep" as the metaphoric symbol for the mysterious, ridiculously over the top political power controlling the world we're living in everyday.
