We’ve had rather brown Decembers the last few years too. This winter is starting off a little more normal and that is nice.

Verbivore, I always think of Switzerland and covered in snow, that we’ve got snow before you do is a wonderment to me. I hope you enjoy it. And yay for joining the Japanes Challenge!

Iliana, the 70s are long gone and won’t be back again until May if we are lucky.

Tin Lizzy, I am not surprised you are enjoying House of Leaves. It seems like your type of book–thought provoking and off the beaten path (those are good things in case you are in doubt! :) )

Nic, I was tempted by the Russian challenge but at the time I had sworn off challenges. Obviously that has changed. Thanks for the link to your Murakami review. I will be checking that out!

But the Japanese challenge is tempting.

I read the Murakami shortly after we started our blog last year, and wrote about it here (back in the days when I managed concise posts!) – comments are quite interesting too:

I ended up getting sidetracked away from it by other reads and activs when I was about 2/3 through it over the summer, and I haven’t picked it up again to finish – boo-hiss. you’ll love it, hate it or end up somewhere in the middle asking “really? Are you kidding me?”

I should make a goal of finishing that up by end of year. I don’t like leaving unfinished business in my reading ventures.

Those are great challenges. How exciting that you get to read Murakami! I’ve only read two of his books but they were both great. Enjoy your challenges!
