I'd like to read all of Murakami's works in Japanese, from beginning to end, eventually. My wife would really like some more of his works, too. If you're up for it, you could contact me by email at alexbrotman@gmail.com . Well, I live in Korea at the moment, but I wouldn’t mind trading some stuff through the mail.

If you ever see a really old edition, circa 1960s, grab a copy if you want a good laugh. There's a whole chapter pretty much devoted to seducing Japanese women. When I get back home I'll have to scan it and put it online. It's really dated and corny... but hey, it worked for me! （笑） I see they have Berlitz Japanese.
