my escape from nonsense thoughts



this is the book im currently reading... and as of now, i think i'm 1/4 done... it's so thick.. but i guarantee you, you will be caught alive with the "irresistibly engaging literary fantasy" according to the Washington post. but honestly speaking, it is really irresistible.. and once you started reading it with much interest, i swear you'll never want to let go of the book or, for greater impact, you'll crave for more of Haruki Murakami's book!!

i've started reading his novel "kafka on the shore" when i was still in my first year of my university life. i just read it out of boredom. at first, i was like "what in the world is this book?! i hardly understand what he means." but that was just during the first two chapters of the book, and after that, i didn't notice that during that time i was reading it, i'm almost done reading the halfway part of the book. Within three days, i manage to finished it-going to school during daytime, and spend most of my free time, including breaktime and lunches even riding to and from the school, reading it. it was really awesome.

since then, i declared that i love haruki murakami's works. i never let any chances of reading his works whenever there is available. i am still a student so i can't afford buying his books since it costs to much but with the great blessings from Above, i'm really grateful that someone gave me this book--1Q84! the latest book of Murakami at this point in time.

when i say "MY ESCAPE FROM NONSENSE THOUGHTS" i mean i figuratively escape... WHY? because my mind is such a realm of randomness and i usually have these random thoughts. like, i suddenly think of a story, then jumping to a person in my head, or i often think what i am really thinking... something like that... and reading his books made me realize that his world of fantasy in these fictions became the fortress of my head escaping the thoughts that i don't want to think about. see what i mean?

his books gave me all these mixed feelings that i never felt while reading books before. i am somehow captivated by the charm that his fictions release.

for another confession:
everytime i read his books, this certain guy (cant name him here ^_^) always comes to my head. how? i don't really know but it's not so long ago since i knew him and we're not even have that physical or personal interaction...but i am really curious about this. he's always comes to my head... sometimes i see him as the protagonist of the story... or sometimes the situation of the story itself. i don't know if there is a hidden connection between him and the books but the way the characters think or the scene is played in my head, he really is the one that resembles in that specific moment. can't really tell it in a more comprehensive way but this is the best of how i can say it. i don't know if its the book that is weird or me? hahhaha well it's not easy to have this kind of mind... hahaha...
