Quote of the day:
We each have a sixth sense that is attuned to the oneness dimension in life, providing a means for us to guide our lives in accord with our ideas. -Henry Reed
My current book read for the week is by Haruki Murakami who has featured a lot in my reading list for the past year. This is one of his earliest books, and I dare say one of his finest. In 'A Wild Sheep Chase,' which is the third book in the so-called 'Trilogy of the Rat' is an independent sequel to Pinball, 1973 and Hear the Wind Sing.
From the start A Wild Sheep Chase plunges you deep into the world of the central character, where business and politics, imbalances and relationships, belief and actuality, come into play.
It revolves around a young individual who leaves all he has ever known behind in pursuit of the unknown and unexplained. Its typical Murakami, for anyone used to his writing style already.

ReplyDeleteNice post! In a long time, yesterday I finished to read " the familiar stranger" and I really liked it. Wishing you a great week ahead, Liuba :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that one. I keep meaning to read more Murakami, but somehow when I'm at the library, other things always catch my eye.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting post...thx for sharing! xx
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Hope this is a good one for you. I haven't read anything by this author yet.

Will put 'A wide sheep chase' on my future reading list.
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing good things about Sia too, will look her up.
Sounds interesting. This is an author that I've yet to try but intend to!
ReplyDeleteThe Widow by Fiona Barton. A very good book.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Yours is the siren song of literature

Yes, Haruki Murakami has featured a lot in your reading list over the past year and is clearly an author you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You clearly enjoy reading this Man's books. I hope the individual found what he was seeking in the unknown.
ReplyDeleteAsides my texts, I'm currently reading "Man, Woman and Child" by Erich Segal.
The book is an absolute mind puzzler, I highly recommend it (and him). It's his second book I'm reading, after "Acts of Faith", and it's quite old (first published in 1980).
Lately, I've been submerged in a few books from my Father's Library unboxing his treasures is quite a delight!
(Kai, I always talk too much on this your blog Oga, and, only here..).

Sounds interesting.... I just finished "Smoke Get's in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematory" It was informative and often funny
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in this book.
ReplyDeleteI just re-read Old Man and the Sea. I wanted to find out if I still thought it was one of H's best books. And, yes. It is.

you do like Murakami. This book sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt must be really interesting book
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Apparently Japanese writers come up with lots of cultural mores that others find different from Western ideas and it follows can turn out to be very interesting.

Wish you happy springtime with books.
ReplyDeleteReading, or trying to read would be more correct, As Rights Go By, an exhibition booklet by Silvia Beck, James Bridle, George Drivas and others. It confirms my impression, I mean conviction, that we are giving away our rights hard-won by our ancestors, for a mess of pottage.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Haruki Murakami's book everywhere, I should get one of his books once school is over for the year.

ReplyDeleteHello Blogoratti, A Wild Sheep Chase does sound interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. I do think we have a sixth sense, maybe even a seventh and eighth. :-) Have a fine week ahead.
