Welcome, to the wonderful, surreal world of Haruki Murakami. 'Cool, fluent and addictive' Daily Telegraph

Quote of the Month

I always say – a prejudice on my part, I’m sure – you can tell a lot about a person’s character from his choice of sofa. Sofas constitute a realm inviolate unto themselves. This, however, is something that only those who have grown up sitting on good sofas will appreciate. It’s like growing up reading good books or listening to good music. One good sofa breeds another good sofa; one bad sofa breeds another bad sofa. That’s how it goes.

From Hard-boiled Wonderland
