Murakami's style, I've decided, is quite a bit better suited to the short story form... its much easier for him to pull off his open-endedness and metaphysical mysteriousness when it's only a few pages long. Its a little harder to swallow when his 500 page novels remain seemingly devoid of resolution.
Anyway... amazing collection, despite a lot of them already appearing in the New Yorker and such...

Dunno why or perhaps not bothering to choose to analyse why, but I can't really stomach reading literature except in book form, ie no enthusiasm for reading stories on a computer or, for less easily comprehensible reasons, in a magazine. Which is perhaps a good thing cos I don't buy any magazines. Anyway think I'll check out the collection mentioned. Have ...what is it...........Wind Up Bird Chronicle which I haven't given a look yet. Any opinions on it?
