1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

Yellowfinch, January 3, 2013

As with some Murakami fans, I participated in a Murakami reading challenge and re-read all of his novels and short story collections, finishing off with 1Q84. This book is vintage Murakami. Love,fate, mystery, and darkness weaved expertly into an satisfying 944 pages of adventure.

Postcards by E Annie Proulx

Yellowfinch, January 30, 2012

This is Annie Proulx' first novel and definitely my favorite read of 2011. The Shipping News and her latest non-fiction, Bird Cloud are excellent reads, but Postcards was superb. Beautiful and descriptive prose, it tells a tale despair of a family that is disintegrating and their individual struggle to exist in a rapidly changing world. Each sentences in this book are so powerful, it grabs you and makes you want to take your time to read and savor it slowly.
