Sputnik Sweetheart

Oh my god.

That was brilliant. There's probably nothing I can say that will do it justice - read Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. Just read it.

All the way through, I was convinced that it was going to have the same kind of ending as South of the Border, West of the Sun - which would have been fine, considering the tone of Sputnik. But instead... speechless. I'm drained and thrilled.

I'm also gushing far too much. Off to find some tissues. Sniff.

Hey.

I love Haruki Murakami. I read most of his books in Chinese. By the way, I live in Hubei, China. Do you happen to have an E-book of his Sputnik Sweetheart? If you do, send me. Ok?
