Here are four books I've enjoyed a lot.
Also, and I can't stress this enough: if you find mistakes in my posts (grammar, spelling, anything) then please point them out to me!

These are really detailed, they're fantastic. I shall have to try to up my game in future. ;)

I already have The City of Dreaming Books on my wishlist, I've got so many books that I keep meaning to put off buying more and get the pile down a bit. But I certainly will try it one day.

I've read a Murakami before, I can't really remember the name, think it was After Dark. I wasn't hugely struck by it, but Sputnik Sweetheart sounds really interesting so I might give that one a go too sometime. I'll pass on Watership Down for now because I have a feeling it'll make me cry,

BTW, it's spelled Antelope. :) Not that I can talk, I can't really spell and always typo and this is my native language. *headdesk* XD

Thank you, I really put a lot of effort into them.^^

You should. It will always be one of my favourites, no matter what else I happen to obsess over at the moment.

Strangely enough, as much as I loved "Sputnik Sweetheart", I haven't tried another Murakami. I've read summaries of some of his other novels and none of them made me really want to read them even though I liked his style of writing.

Yeah, Watership Down is not really a happy novel. But then, lots of novels I enjoyed weren't very positive.

Whooops, will correct that. xD
"Antilope" is the German spelling, so...:P

And you HAVE TO give "No Country for Old Men" a try. I have no idea whether you'd like it or not, but given that it's only about 300 pages long, you should risk it. I have to insist because it's my latest obsession.

Very well. I shall see if I can get it from the library, if not it might take me a while. It does sound interesting though, given the interpretation you discussed.

I'm usually okay with generally depressing books (case in point, currently reading The Bell Jar XD), but the fact that it's rabbits not people will probably make me cry and feel awful simply for being human. ^^;

I've just reserved No Country and City of Dreaming Books. Happy? :P

Ich hatte ja selbst am Ende des Murakami-reviews angemerkt, dass sich die wenigen Stellen, die ich aus der englischen Übersetzung kenne, recht stark von denselben Stellen in der deutschen Version unterscheiden. Deshalb glaube ich, meine Version ist die neue, die direkt aus dem Japanischen übersetzt wurde.

Ich würde mich sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr freuen, wenn du zu den anderen noch was sagen würdest. ;)
Vielleicht findest du ja zwischendurch noch Zeit dafür, niemand lernt den ganzen Tag. Aber was viel wichtiger ist -
DU WOLLTEST MIR IMMER NOCH WAS SCHICKEN! ò_ó

Whoops, hatte ich gar nicht erwähnt. Ist aber so. :P
