After Dark another random book


Read a new book another handout from stinks she seems to be a major source for appeasing my literary appetite currently. Another book which seemed to go no where by the end of it. And yet another tantalisingly interesting read.

A bit weird in terms of its subject a beautiful woman whos asleep for over two months , not in a coma but asleep and isolated within a room by her own choice and her boringly ordinary sister whos out for a night about, just to get away from it all. Another morbid book you'd think but surprisingly well written . The books called After Dark, and its by Haruki Murakami. Probably will try and read another one of his books

Its strange what all one can enjoy reading at times , its wasnt the story or the plot which was really absorbing but rather the style in which the book was written its the  conversations that he makes  interesting. Its not the  plot or the story that grips you but the  details of ordinary conversations, the lengths  of them its  like being there. I never knew  conversations could be that  interesting but  i guess from my latest  post its visible that at times they are.

The  book also involves a  chinese  prostitute working for the  chinese  mob, and an It professional who vents out his frustration or gets his  pleasure from hitting this  girl. Thats what the  book ends  abruptly  and  you are  left wanting more  a bit more but at the same time satisfied because the plot wasn't as gripping anyways. The journey through it was  good but the destination you aren't quite sure of.

I have read this book once again since the post was originally written and  nothing has changed but somehow the second read was better . Should get another  of his books
