A story about Haruki Murakami

I found “A Wild Sheep Chase” languishing in a guesthouse in Phnom Penh back in 2002. It looked not horrible (compared to the usual fare found on hostel book shelves) so I grabbed it. The story hooked me from the get-go and I’ve been a huge fan ever since.

Haruki is my friend on MySpace and he commented on my page once. But I don’t count this as “knowing” him. ;)

Why I like bethybeth

Beth is always polite and helpful to even the most annoying of people. She will share her sweeties with you. She has a very warm and welcoming home with astonishingly shiny cookware. She has great taste in authors, like Haruki Murakami, JK Rowling, and Marian Keyes.

Why I like cybilransom

Cybil will show you her belly at random, innapropriate moments. Cybil blurts things out and has a great laugh. She takes amazing photographs, she procrastinates, and her cheerful curiousity leads to lots of quirky discoveries that she’s happy to share.

A story about franola

Franny and I share an interest in the writings of Haruki Murakami and also in Harry Potter. Although I like Harry Potter for the fanfiction and she likes it for the discussions boards. We work together and sometimes have lovely discussions of liberal politics or Harry Potter. One time I got a book signed by Haruki Murakami and another time Franny got a comment from him on her myspace page. That was very cool.
