Oh, yeah.
I read three books during March. I forgot one. Which, despite the fact that I forgot that I read it, I actually rather enjoyed.
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, by Haruki Murakami
My first Murakami; 'twill not be my last. I enjoyed this book muchly, though there was this slight concern-- there are a lot of really clever wordplay puns.
Except the book was written in Japanese.
So...
I don't really know what to make of that. There are creatures called INKlings, with the capitals, and they're sort of... look, there's also a group called the Semantecs... I don't get it. Are they puns in Japanese? Are portions of the book written in English? It actually weirded me out because it worked too well. I have been told that while this book is good, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is life altering. It shall be read, for this Murakami can write himself a book.
I feel better now. Two seemed too few to have read. I changed that sentence just to get the two/too/to trifecta. Twofecta?
