sputnik sweetheart

i read a lot of books, but until this day 'South of the border, west of the sun' and 'Sputnik Sweetheart' of Haruki Murakami remain my 2 alltime favorites. Murakami has a way to create a world and characters that are both realistic and poetic. His stories flirt with reality and fantasy. I can read these books over and over again, it touches me every time.

ofcourse there are still other books i loved 'Bonjour Tristesse' and 'The unbearable lightness of being'

But Murakami is very different..
