A Book

Today I'd like you to talk about a book you can recommend.
Actually, I started reading at a very young age and reading has always been one of my hobbies. However, I think there are lots of books that I love that maybe aren't so easy to read or that many people wouldn't find interesting.
One of my favourite books in recent years is a book by a Japanese author called Haruki Murakami. The book is called Kafka on the Shore and I read it in 2005. I discovered it because a British author I like called David Mitchell reviewed it in a magazine and said it was great. Then, a few weeks late The New York Times printed the first chapter. I read it and then bought the book straight away. It's a little crazy (for example one of the characters talks to cats, and they talk back) but it's also extremely imaginative. It tells the story of a teenage boy who runs away from home. I've lent the book to lots of other people and they've always enjoyed it so I don't have any problem recommending it. Since then I've read 10 more books by Murakami and I've loved them all. I also really like the cover of Kafka on the Shore because it has a cat that looks just like my cat who sadly passed away in May at the age of 16.
Write about a book you recommend.
Say:
What it's called,
Who wrote it,
When you read it,
How you found out about it,
Why you like it.

Mention anything else you think is important. Write at least 200 words. Leave a comment on your teacher's blog and on the blogs of 3 classmates.

  6. Japanese people have a lot of imagination, and I'm not talking just about books. I remember an horror movie that really freaked me out.
