Yes, Mac, I'm as well as can be expected I suppose.
I read "Written on the wind" by Judith Pella. It was a book that remained indifferent to me. A WW2 story of three sisters, and the beginning of a series I'm quite sure I can live without reading.
And then I threw myself into "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami, and finished it just now. It was more or less the emotional rollercoaster I expected. And I'm not so sure about the ending. I wasn't convinced it was those two that should have ended up together.
He's an excellent writer just the same, and I'll go back to hunting down more of his books- which has turned out to be surprisingly difficult here in Finland. This was the only book of his that the library had.
Now I'll start reading a fantasy written by a Swedish-speaking Finn (like I am if someone didn't know..). Arra by Maria Turtschaninoff. It's YA- but what am I if not young at heart.. I may be expecting too much of this book, but it does look like my kind of book.
