Hello guys! How are you? :)
In this very short blog update I wanted to say that after reading Tom Sawyer and before venturing into Vanity Fair I've read Sputnik, Sweetheart/Sputnik, my love by Haruki Murakami. And what I wanted to say is: if you never read anything by Murakami before you don't know what you're missing. I'll specify: you're missing one of the most amazing literary experiences you could ever miss.
If you know me since I started blogging here you probably know I'm an avid reader. I read everything that's good but my favorite genre is fantasy. I've read a ton of cla$$ics, I have read a lot of crazy books. I have read a lot of lovie-dovie novels (yes, Nicholas Sparks is a terrible writer. I think his books are completely overrated. And I won't even mention Stephenie Meyer, of course) and I will tell you this: Murakami will change your whole point of view about life.
So pick one of his books (Kafka on the Shore recommended) and go ahead - change your concepts about life. Perhaps you won't understand what you're reading while you're actually reading. But when you finish the last lines you'll feel enlightened and understand the most absurd and strange parts throughout the book.
Hugs,
Mariana
