Murakami ROCKS!

I know many of you guys have already read Murakami's stuff before but I had just recently discovered Murakami through a friend. I've always wanted to read him but never knew where to start. Enter my friend whom I never knew is a big Murakami fan and he recommended Norwegian Wood.

It's not often I get this but I feel both happy and sad as I'm reading the book. Happy because I really enjoyed it, and a little sad because it also means that the book is coming to a close with every page I read. I can barely remember the last time I feel like this with a book, but I suspect it was probably a Milan Kundera's novel. My friend puts it best when he says that Norwegian Wood is the only book he's read cover to cover, twice, immediately after he's finished it the first time through.

As for me, I'm reaching the last quarter of the book, and I'm restless for more Murakami. If you guys know which other Murakami is good, let me know.
