It's that time of year - actually I'm a little late - but Dolce Bellezza is hosting the 5th annual Japanese Literature Challenge and I'm signing up.... I love this challenge... it's introduced me to authors and genre's I would not have normally tried.
So my intentions this year include:
- read more Haruki Murakami
- read more Banana Yoshimoto
- read another Japanese Author
- read another Japanese History
I recently finished Murakami's "Hard-boiled Wonderland and The End of the World", which I will post on soon. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear from you - even if you have something that doesn't fit with my 'intentions' list....
Until later.
Oooo, I've toyed with this challenge for a while but joining up always makes me feel under pressure. I'm reading 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicle' at the moment and it's brilliant. After reading 'Kafka on the Shore' earlier this year I have to warm up for Murakami's new offering 'IQ84' ...exciting! Looking forward to reading your posts.
