After Dark

I read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle based on suggestions I have that on my list to read "sometime soon." So far I've really enjoyed all the Murakami I've read - After Dark, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and A Wild Sheep Chase. Definitely planning to read the rest of his works eventually.

Interesting. I had exactly the opposite experience with my first Murakami. I was at Barnes & Noble one Sunday evening, grabbed one of his titles (After Dark) off the shelf, intending to flip through a few pages; and next thing you know the store is about to close and I'm halfway through the book. I bought the copy, drove home and finished reading it that night. I was hooked pretty much from the get-go.
