Murakami: Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman - Invitation to view

[Jemmy Bloocher]

I hadn't read Murakami until WUBC came out and I thoroughly enjoyed it,
prompting me to read everything else, albeit in translation. I've only read
UK editions, but it's interesting to think what the differences would be.
For the record IQ84 in my opinion has been his weakest work thus far. It
has (they have) attracted a lot of new readers I think; certainly I've met
a few.
