A Book

Hi FAU Bloggers

I noticed that one or two of you mentioned that you like reading so, today I'd like you to talk about a book you can recommend. Actually, I started reading at a very young age and reading has always been one of my hobbies. However, I think there are lots of books that I love that maybe aren't so easy to read or that many people wouldn't find interesting. For example, a couple of years ago I read 2066 by Chilean author Roberto Bollaño in Spanish. It's a long novel (sort of 5 novels in one) and it took me about 3 months to read. It was very rewarding though as he is an amazing writer.
One of my favourite books in recent years is a book by a Japanese author called Haruki Murakami. The book is called Kafka on the Shore and I read it in 2005. I discovered it because a British author I like called David Mitchell reviewed it in a magazine and said it was great. Then, a few weeks late The New York Times printed the first chapter. I read it and then bought the book straight away. It's a little crazy (for example one of the characters talks to cats, and they talk back) but it's also extremely imaginative. It tells the story of a teenage boy who runs away from home. I've lent the book to lots of other people and they've always enjoyed it so I don't have any problem recommending it. It's also a very easy novel to read and to get into. Since then I've read 10 more books by Murakami and I've loved them all. I also really like the cover of Kafka on the Shore because it has a cat that looks just like my previous cat of 17 years, Kat (R.I.P.).
