2.0

All of Murakami's men in his books never suffer in the end. They have turmoils and crises with people they are involved with, but in the end, they are always alright. Meanwhile, women have carried worlds and wounds that destroy themselves and suffer its aftermaths. Why is that? Why?

After finishing this book, I understood the magnetism of Haruki Murakami's writing.

Yes, we will read more of his works, nevertheless.
