The Bell Jar

I decided to read this book because it's supposedly one of the great work out there. So it was a great start to follow Esther Greenwood roaming around New York, and then she got depressed and suicidal and the reading experience became too depressive for me. 

Plath told the story as first person and the whole thing went in circle without any positive solution to her sickness. I am glad that it's not a long story, otherwise I could have been as crazy as she was. 

Note to self: No more depressing novels! This is the second type of story that I rule out from my reading list. After reading My Sister's Keeper and The Fault in Our Stars, I swore that I will never touch stories about cancer patients. 

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle

You can't use logic when reading Murakami, and that's probably why I've never been a fan of his. 

This book started really well but it immediately turned to an endless whirlwind. Even at page 300+ I still had no idea where the story's heading to. It's like the Japanese version of "Inception"!

Anyway, I'm glad that I finished this book. Of course I'm disappointed with the ending. It should have ended with more weights after all the trouble of telling such a long story.
