I like some people so much, their whole way, and being, that I can't say a word for fear of wrecking it. So if you see me standing across the room, not looking, I'm probably in love with you. Damaged, benzo surfer...
I've decided to real all of Murakami's books. I read After Dark first, but now I'm going back to the beginning and reading them in order. I'll read After Dark again later between 'Kafka On The Shore' and IQ84. I just want to say now that I picked up After Dark by chance last year sometime and was immediately taken by the writing; the voice, the surreal qualities in the writing especially, and the thing he is noted for which is making the ordinary extraordinary. I don't know how things will go with the rest of his books obviously, but After Dark will remain a classic in my mind, a book that I will read a number of times again.
