A few months ago, someone had recommended 'Kafka on the Shore' to me. And I was all set to buy it as soon as I'd finished the books I was then reading. Call it coincidence, a friend gifted me (my husband, actually) a copy of 'Kafka...' one week later. I have been a fan of Murakami ever since.
Two weeks ago, I did the unthinkable and bought every book he's written. These are just some from the collection. Loving it.
P.S. The book at the bottom of the stack is not a Murakami, but a birthday gift from friends.
