South of The Border, West Of The Sun


...and just wrapped up South Of The Border, West of The Sun today!
This was an OK book, strangely missing much in the way of surrealism for a Haruki Murakami book, though.
In fact, for the most part, it was just a regular story about a guy who makes friends with a girl in elementary school and how his life is shaken up when she re-enters his life some 20 years later.
I mean, don't get me wrong, this was an entertaining story with nice pacing, and the characters were all fleshed out and you really liked them, and it even had a nice conclusion to it. Just didn't seem very Murakami-ish.(except for the Jazz Records or course!)
Up Next:
Hear the Wind Sing!
edit: My copy of "Kafka On The Shore" came in, so I'm going to be starting that one next instead...I've been dying to read this one!
