Tuesday


But why should you be interested in me?" 

Good question. I can’t explain it myself right this moment. But maybe – just maybe – if we start getting together and talking, after a while something like Francis Lai’s soundtrack music will start playing in the background, and a whole slew of concrete reasons why I’m interested in you will line up out of nowhere. With luck, it might even snow for us.” 



  After Dark, Haruki Murakami

I do not like Murakami very much. I prefer Ishiguro. I recommend him to you if you did not read him

i read "the remains of the day", but i didnt like it. thanks anyway for your advice

js said...

Ok, you are right, that is a boring book, bu what about Akutagawa?

valeria said...

what about him? I like Akutagawa a lot

js said...

I like him too, sorry if I insist, but don'T you think that Murakami uses a lot of pornography?

valeria said...

the only pornography i know is the cure's album

js said...

Good point, you are smart.
In Japan is very common to hear that complaint about the sex in Murakami's books

valeria said...

that is because people have an obsession with sex. surely you can find sex in his books, but it doesnt mean that this is porn.
you can also find a lot of stuffs about food in his books and i dont believe that people say that he is a chef or the owner of a restaurant.

Good point again, smart girl. I need to talk to you, to ask you some things, may I send a mail to you?
