creme burulee: Haruki Murakami

Good morning.

It's been nice and warm around here.

The city where I live at the moment is quite quiet and safe, which is good.

Haruki Murakami, a Japanese novelist, used to live right in this area.

He is writing in his book titled 'Yagate Kanashiki Gaikokugo'

that Princeton is quiet enough to concentrate on writing.

Yesterday, I finished reading this book.

It's interesting and I have several things I would agree.

There are lots of translations of his books coming out,

but I'm afraid this book hasn't been done yet.

You've ever probably come across 'Norwegian wood', haven't you?

I like 'South of the Border, West of the Sun' the best.

By the way, do you like music?

What kind of music do you listen or play?

I do listen to classical music, Rock, Jazz and such and such.

I love music which makes me feel great whatever it is.

I play the piano. I started learning it at the age of 2.

So it has a kind of feeling that it's a part of me.

I've ever learnt a bit about the violin and guitar, but

not much to express myself.

The photo is one of my pianos.

I left it in Japan and really miss it.

I haven't got the instrument here.

I'm just thiking if I'm gonna rental it,

but haven't really decided it yet.

see how it goes.
