Finally I have read Norwegian Wood. I have read lots of other books by Haruki Murakami, and bought this rather special edition years ago, but was scared to read it. For lots of reasons I think - partly that the edition was a bit too special to actually read, partly that it's good to know that you haven't yet read all the books by an author you love, and partly that I thought it would be very good and make me sad.
I borrowed it from the library. It is very good and it did make me a bit sad, but I'm glad I read it, although now I don't want to read anything else for a while.
Interestingly, it's being made into a film at the moment. I shall keep my fingers crossed.
In the meantime, here is a list from the Times about Haruki Murakami.

long time reader, first time poster... I think I prefer the "Wild Sheep Chase" and "Dance, dance, dance" books, but obviously massive fan of H Murakami...and my friend Erika's dad sold him some land on Hawaii, which makes me only 2 handshakes away! MC
