Thanks to Tony's Reading List, a blog I found via the wonderful Interpolations blog, I have discovered the Haruki Murakami Reading Challenge. Murakami is one of my all time favourite writers. I have never taken up a reading challenge before, so this seems like a great one to start with!
There are different levels of participation available, from one novel or everything Murakami has ever written (which has been translated into English). Below is the list of all of his works published in English, the ones underlined are the ones I have already read. Eleven out of a possible seventeen, so maybe I can aim to read them all the end of the year? I guess the challenge is being able to get hold of the final ones.
