Lost in Norwegian Wood..







I've never been this worked up reading a fiction, this book is totally blew me away. I am so curious to finish it, i bring it everywhere i go. Now, that i already finish it, i'm losing words. Every characters is so deep and intense, i started to believe that these people is real and how their conversation with each other are very natural.

I have to say i found bits and pieces of my self in every characters, that's why i intensely curious to find out how they deal with problems or people that coming right at them. It's crazy how i feel the same way as Toru when he realize that he's never been open enough to the people he loves, i've made walls like that too in real life. The amount of death, sex and suicide's theme are not portrayed in a strange way but most likely as a part of their life, it circled around them, making them feel weak and fragile everytime. It became undeniable memories that they couldn't get rid off.



People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simple, but it never is. It's just like a rock. What's above ground is only a small part of it. But if you start pulling, it keeps coming and coming. The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then.

(Haruki Murakami)
