Reading Murakami

As I mentioned in my post Just checking in ... I grabbed a few books for free. One of them was Haruki Murakami's Killing Commendatore.  I started reading and was totally absorbed by this book. Being on the road it was difficult to find time to read, but when I could I picked it up. I saw, but tried to ignore, that is said "The First Book" on the cover (I read it in Swedish). However, just when things were getting even more interesting the book ended, and I realised that there indeed was a book two. It seems that in Swedish the rather long book has been divided into two.

Quite desperate to continue reading I tried to download an e-book from the library. They did not have it as an e-book. I looked into other options to buy an e-book, but they were rather expensive, and since I had already read the first half I did not want to spend the money on just half a book.

Reading by Inari River 

Well, now back at home, I finally got the book from the library. They even had it in my local library so very happy about that. I have already read about a third of it and is still mesmerised by this story. I am curious how it will end.

Finally got hold of part two!

Have you read it and what do you think about it? Just don't reveal anything about the story and ending. I am thinking that this is probably one of the best books I have read. Does it beat A Gentleman in Moscow? Difficult to say, they are two quite different kinds of books. And, after all, there is nothing that say you can't have two favourites and best books, is there?
