Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood

...and another. Although this seems to be his most famous book, it's my least favourite of those which I've so far read (at least after my first reading of it), except maybe Dance Dance Dance. It'd be doing Norwegian Wood a disservice to call it merely a love story - even to call it 'merely' a multi-faceted, subtle love story - but I didn't get as much out of it as I have from Murakami's others, and didn't enjoy it half as much. Then again, it's very well written, and it did touch me in its gentle, plaintive way; I'm sure that I'll return to this book, and perhaps it'll have more meaning for me when I do.
