Ok - this book was chosen for my book club, but I read the other 2 books in the trilogy purely for pleasure. This trilogy may not be blockbuster, but it is more interesting than the "Twilight" series, even if you are not a big fan of fantasy.

Murakami's South of the Border, West of the Sun chronicles the very extent of human desire. How even with time and absence, a human spirit can be drawn to another with such great force that the novel's protagonist, Hajime, is willing to risk everything to "have" a woman. It's a beautifully written and memorable piece of work, with Murakami having the ability to put abstract concepts into such elegant and tangible prose. It begins with Hajime's narrative of his childhood, where he spends hours with his childhood friend Shimamoto. Shimamoto is a precocious girl with polio-sourced limp (traits that continue to draw Hajime even into adulthood). A type of attraction exists between the two than only reaches the extent of a youthful crush, bound with curiosity and confusion. They lose contact once they begin attending separate junior highs, and eventually Hajime begins dating Izume, who he betrays. Into middle-age, these two women--Shimamoto and Izume--remain ever-present in Hajime's mind, and even show up literally in haunting and unexpected ways. But it's Shimamoto that grasps his psyche and determines his fate. For me, the highlights of South of the Border, West of the Sun are its intimate moments. Not always intimate in a sexual sense, but evocative interactions between two characters. Hajime's life feels so real and honest. Is the thing that destroys him really a tragic flaw, or is it a trait inherent in everyone, just waiting to act out in the right moment? This is a quick read, but it manages to be intense and complex nonetheless.

Definitely a classic. So B. It has not only a unique, heart-touching writing style, but a unique heart-touching story line as well. The bittersweet story of a young girl living in a run-down apartment building with an agoraphobic neighbor and a mentally disabled mother, So B. It is an interesting story full of morals and lessons. There is little to say about revising or downsides; I have to admit, I just absolutely adored this story.

And this book....not a strong ending to what started out as a pretty cool trilogy. Katniss became totally lame - to the point that she was even present for what it seemed the book was leading up to. And the action was so frenzied, at times, I had no idea what was going on. Felt like this one was really being written for the eventual screen play. Oh well - my advice would be to read the first book and stop there. Then again, my husband reminds me that this is a book for 12 year olds so maybe I should not have such high standards...

** spoiler alert ** 2010 bookcrossing review: Horay, I have finally finished this book!!! I have been reading it for quite a few weeks now, whilst on and off reading several other books at the same time. It's funny how these things don't seem to be quite as you remember. This wasn't the most gripping of books, and at times was a bit inoffensively drivly. Also maybe because it was a bit of a string of unconnected episodes of little magnitude from Anne's early childhood, it's hard to keep your attention up. It got better towards the end, as she got a bit older and a plot started to build when she was off to college and you're starting to wonder how the plot of her life is going to continue. Some parts are very obvious, both because I've read these before, seen the series, have the other books so the photos and blurbs are a bit of a giveaway; and also because it is just plain obvious with issues such as Gilbert, the boy she refuses to speak to until the end of this book and is her main competitor for academic success. So, for the unacquainted, this is the first in the Anne books, about how orphan girl Anne comes to live at Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew (brother and sister) on an island in Canada at the turn of the century (1800s to 1900s). And although a lot of it is a child of its time, with attitudes, fashions, lifestyles having changed a lot; a lot of the gossipy neighbours, childhood friends, games and carryings on are still just the same. I suppose its a look back at a kind of more innocent, wholesome kind of childhood.

gosh, loved it. the dave eggars story is my favorite (i think it's called "after i fell in the river and before i drowned"), and the nick hornby story is a close second ("nipplejesus").
A story within a story: mix of Irish legend and tales embedded with the Christian legend/history of Patrick. A good book to read if you're going to spend any time in Ireland--it captures a bit of the ancient history and the Irish love of story-telling.
