LoT Book CLub - Book 2 - Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

[blueerica]

I should remind everyone that if there ever a woman fluent in Japanese translated to English, it's me. I'm living in the House of Japanese Translated To English. /cough

I am still slightly uncomfortable with the translation, mainly because the situations, the acts are not always plausible to me. I am not far enough into the book to say either way, though. I'll just have to plug forward.

Wait, ya'll started a new book while I was away? Guess I'd better get humping.

I've tried a couple times to go ahead and join in on this one but haven't found a bookstore yet that has it in stock and I'm too lazy to deal with ordering it.

I'll check my local used book store and my even local'er B&N. If I strike out in those two places, I promise to cut and run.

Have you checked libraries? They'll even transfer it to your closest branch if they have it at one of the other branches.

If I'm reading a book to discuss it I prefer to be at liberty to maul and spindle it. But I did look. All five copies in the possession of the Alamade County Library are well-over due and there is a queue. The Oakland Public Library does not have it in English, though they do seem to have pretty complete collections of his books in Japanese, Russian, Korean, and Chinese.

It was probably all the humping that distracted you in the first place.
