Haruki Murakami?s Books?

[8 Drunken Stylz]

I read that last page of Norweigen Wood over quite a few times. But I think I liked the ending ? it left the whole thing hanging. It could of gone either way. Nevertheless, it took me a fair while to convince myself that it was a potentially happy ending and that it wasn't just a metaphor for the main character's ultimate abandonment and isolation. (Then I started thinking about that "trapped in a glass case of emotion" bit from Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy and that was it, the spell was broken).

I'm going to track down Sputnik Sweetheart and start reading them in anti-chronological order I think. That way I'll end up back on Hard Boiled Wonderland (until the next one's translated), which is universally considered a winner.
