Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood. His first book, which propelled him to fame. Originally written in Japanese, I bought a translated version by Jay Rubin. I was most sceptical of this one, but it came with high recommendations from Christine.
Paulo Coelho's Like The Flowing River. More famously known for A Walk to Remember [made into a motion picture], and The Alchemist. Like The Flowing River is a compilation of short stories and reflections about life written by Coelho.
Both rather unusual choices for me, especially Norwegian Wood. But seeing that I've not touched fiction in such a long while, I thought I'd start with something fresh, an unfamiliar writing style, with hopes that I might be well entertained.

Thanks in advance :)
norwegian wood is a little bit emo, loaded with free love, and casual sex. his writing style is good, but i dun like how morality is so cheap in these pages. perhaps it's just a blunt and true reflection.
u can borrow my books. but they are queens among my posessions, so u take care of them k.
