Return of the Bibliophile

I reviewed books for Just Femme once in a while. But not much reading happened.

I had to re-read The Book thief to get back into the reading groove.

And it has been quite a fun time. I started off with Haruki Murakami. It blew my mind (if it sounds like a teenagish phase, that's because it is. I am attributing it to the writer's block though) The book is fascinating. The Magic realism sucks into Murakami's world through every word. I knew half way through the book that I won't 'get' many things and there will be no 'happy endings' but i couldn't put it down.

T quite liked the black cat on the cover of the book. We named it Nakata and made up very many stories with Nakata, a cat who could speak to humans :)
