“We fell silent again. The thing we had shared was nothing more than a fragment of time that had died long ago. Even so, a faint glimmer of that warm memory still claimed a part of my heart. And, when death claimed me no doubt I would walk along by the faint light in the brief instant before being flung once again into the abyss of nothingness.”
I really need to read more from Murakami.

Sigh. I need to read more Murakami, too. I've only read Norwegian Wood and After Dark, but I loved them both.

Murakami is the perfect way to start off the new year 🙂 I have this one sitting on my shelf – so, I'm eager to find out what you think of it.

I have begun to read Kafka on the Shore and so far am loving it! As is so often the case, I wonder now what made me hesitate? In fact it's an instantly engaging and compelling story. How nice that we have both begun the year with Murakami! And a very happy New Year indeed to you and yours, dear Bellezza.

Happy New Year! Love the quote, but the latest Murakami is still disappointing to me 😦
