Books

Another week has passed by and I'm doing fine, just fine.                                                                        -It's Christmas soon (making a Christmas playlist on spotify right now)                                                -Went to "late show" with Amanda and Sanja today , it was fun. I love fridays.                                     -"Första advent" on Sunday. love.

Books I've read the past four weeks - I love reading books this time of the year.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Actually I started to read it like a half year ago but I stopped and forgot. (actually I liked it a lot, I just didn't have the discipline to sit down and read.) But some weeks ago I decided to read it all over again because it's a good book (it's Haruki Murakami, duh?) 
It's extremely...interesting...mind twisting but so good. Just like all his other books I've read. It makes you think and it really is like traveling to another world. L-o-v-e-d it. Like the reviews says; "It's like a darker version of Alice in Wonderland"

 Norwegian Wood By Haruki Murakami
To be honest I didn't have high expectations on this one. I know it's a movie know and everything but I just didn't think it would be like his other books...but I was happily surprised. It's extremely sad, so touching but so so good. (I've even started to listen to The Beatles because of it.)
 It was addictive and I couldn't stop reading...
And know I can finally watch the movie!

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
"A soviet underground classic." It took quite a while for me to get into it, but the more I read, the better it got.  It's an interesting book.. It didn't have the same influence on me as Norwegian Wood and The Wind-up bird chronicle had but that's just me. I can understand why it's so famous and I bet that if I read it again…maybe in some years, I'll like it even more. Still happy I read it though, because it's is a piece of art.

One day by David Nicholls
I've wanted to read this book for quite a while now so some weeks ago I decided to by it.
I started reading it yesterday since I just finished "The master and Margarita" so I've only read like 100 pages, but so far it's really good. And yes I do have high expectations on this book. But how can’t you like a book that takes place in the 80-90’s in England with love as main theme?
