Interesting list, thanks for posting it to your blog! I've read 8 titles from the list, so I have miles to go...
ReplyDeleteHmmm...it is an interesting list. I've only read one, however: On Writing, and the only other one that really strikes my fancy is Wind Up Bird Chronicle. I've enjoyed Murakami's short stories and the one novel, After Dark, that I've read.
