"Stop reading at the table." or, "Put that book away. Now's not the time." is something I hear far too often from my family members. I can't help that I'm such an avid reader. To be honest, I wasn't always a bookworm. I remember when I was growing up, people would ask me who my favourite author was, and I'd tell them that I didn't read so I couldn't answer that. Then they'd just stare at me as though I just grew another set of arms. Seriously, you couldn't get me to read a book even if you begged. That's just how I was.
Now's entirely different though. My dad, being the joker that he is, will always say to me, "I'm just glad you have your nose in a book and not in people's business or up people's butt." Hahah. Wise words from my pops everybody.
So anyway, I'm here to share a few of my favourite books. I love books by Haruki Murakami. I just recently found out about him through my Aunty. She said that her friend had recommended her a book called 'Norwegian Wood' and she didn't have the time to read it so she decided to lend it to me since I was in search for another book to devour. Hah. That book is something I like to call a 'No sleep' book. Because that's exactly what you aren't getting. Sleep. That book was fantastic from beginning to the end. I won't summarise or anything for you guys because I really want ya'll to read the book.

My favourite book by far, the book I am currently reading, is called 'The Elephant Vanishes', also by Haruki Murakami.
It's a book of some very....interesting short stories. Very interesting. A little weird if I should say so myself. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. Except those under the age of 16. Not very child-friendly. Heh.
I will be catching up on my reading this weekend so maybe I'll do another book review? We'll see. ;)
So with that, I shall end this slightly longer than usual post with a quote by Mr Murakami himself.
"Sometimes our memory betrays us."
