“Before that, I didn’t write anything. I was just one of
those ordinary people. I was running a jazz club, and I didn’t create anything
at all.”
Olaa! Hey guys, how’s life? Must be better than me, huh?
Okey, I’m here not to tell you about my stupid or sad or crazy life. I just
want to share a great thought about someone. He’s special of course. He is the
only fiction writer that I worship. Mr. Haruki Murakami.
The first time I read his works, it was just a coincidence. I
was reading a magazine, and then I found the review about ‘Kafka on The Shore.’
I was curious at that time so I browsed, downloaded it, and I never read that
ever since. Why? Simple. Bored. It was boring, and I completely didn’t understand
the story. Until some lazy day, I read it. And read it. I finished it in 3 days
or more. Less than a week. And then I regret, how stupid I was. That was the
best book! No kidding! Maybe for some of you will be bored too, or even it was cheesy but all
you have to do just read it and flip the pages.
Mr. Murakami’s point of view is so different with most
people. It’s like sky and earth, or moon and stars. And he open my eyes that
there are things outhere that do exist. weird things, scary things, unbelieveable
things, or things that you never imagined. They are out there, somewhere on this planet. He
always sureprises the readers with different kind of story but same way of
thingking. Different but there’s a similiarity. after
I read that I downloaded all his books, which is available on the internet and
free, the short stories too. And again I amaze with this man. I just love his
works. And his point of view. And his world. Gosh.
Mr. Murakami, however, married. Well, this is kinda sad,
tbh, hehe. His wife named Yoko. They met when he studied drama at Waseda
University in Tokyo. He was born in Kyoto, on January 12th 1949. He is 64 now. Even though he is old I
can tell he is really handsome for his age, hehe. Here
he is:
Haruki opened a coffeehousee, too, that’s one of my bucket
list. He is a marathon runner and triathlete enthuasiast. He must be very
healthy man, on 1996 he completed his first marathon, 100 kilometer race around
Lake Saroma in Hokkaido, Japan. This is wow, because I never completed any racing
or even a jogging.
After books and short stories, his first novel, Hear the Wind Sing (Kaze no uta wo kike) was
adapted by Kazuki Mori, a Japanese director. This film was distributed by Art
Theatre Guild in 1981. What a shame that I haven’t watched that. Of course,
bit! You hadn’t born that time! Yeah, kind a suck. And I love this one short
stories On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl
One Beautiful April Morning. The story was great and it happened on April, my
favorite month! That one was filmed in 1983 and I’m dying to watch that!
Haruki Murakami is such a great author and translator, I
haven’t mention that, have i? yeah he translated some works of another great
author to Japanese. And his works was translated to English. Until this time, I
haven’t read all his books. And I haven’t owned all his works. I’m looking
forward for it but with school and things, hahh I haven’t gotten a perfect
time. The only time I have is next December during the holidays. Well, wish me
luck for the hunting!
