The Wind-up Bird Chronicle


Recently I have been spending hours reading a series of books called "Nejimaki dori chronicle or The Wind-up Bird Chronicle in English."

I do not think that I am a big fan of reading books, especially novels or fiction.  My favorite genre is non-fiction, such as scientific reports about the universe and deep-sea fish. I prefer books with a lot of pictures.

Why I started reading the series was that I heard on Podcast Rebuild, which is one of my favorite podcasts brought by well-experienced software engineers, that this series was the best work by Haruki Murakami, a famous Japanese writer.

The series is composed of 3 books, and I have finished only 1 of the 3. So far, I have found myself pretty fascinated by the plot. However, I have no confidence in keeping on reading and completing the series without difficulty, because I am kind of impatient.

It would be fantastic if I was patient enough to finish the series. It would take away more hours from my tight schedule, though.
