3 - "After Dark" - Haruki Murakami

So, after finishing "Slaughterhouse Five" in one day, I've been kind of slacking in my reading. This Vonnegut book was a lot easier to read, and a much more enjoyable read than my attempt at "Breakfast of Champions". Perhaps in the future I can swallow my ego enough to take another crack at it, but not without diving into another quick and enjoyable journey through Murakami's dual storylines.

I've read my fair share of Murakami books, and while I'm pretty sure nothing will top "Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World", I will never refuse one of his novels. This one is shaping up to be the same way, but the story takes place in a shorter timeline and the twist is not so obvious yet. "After Dark" will be a quick read, and I'm sure I won't rave about it but it will be enjoyable nonethless.
