If you think i would post such stuff...

But he plays with it... for sure...

I can only say Murakami is much more than this... in more than one level.

@para: He has almost won the nobel prize for it. Some say he only doesnt gets it cuz he is already too famous. He is the only Author of whom i read all books. He could write about stones and i would read it. I never found somebody who is better author all in all (for me).

Sometimes the worst things are sold most often xD

But i am surprised everytime how many readers he has got, cuz he is not always easy.

I think he has written about 30 books and hundreds of short stories and some other things. He is guest professor on some universities and i think his works were translated in around 36 languages. he is one of THE novelists of our days. And every book is very cool, not like Stephen King who writes also a lot but a lot of empty paper... :)
