  • I have read three Murakami books; 1Q84, Kafka on the shore, Norwegian Wood.

    I loved 1Q84 so went directly into Kafka couldn’t read more than a few pages. I came back after a few months reading a few books. Kafka felt fresh and loved Murakami again.

    Same happened with Norwegian Wood. I took some time between Kafk and it. And I loved it more.

    Murakami is like a fever dream, you can’t stay there for long. You ve to come out of it, breath fresh air before you dive bck in.









  • Yes we got a sinking boat and were forced to keep on rowing. We were never old enough to say that the holes should be patched. We were given the dream that our time will come. We were told that our job was to keep our head down and row, so we kept on rowing. Till the boat sank.

    We are the first generation to work but have nothing to show for it, as compared to boomers.
