yes. yes. yes.
i take it you are a fellow murakami fan, splendid! the man could seriously make me weep, honestly and truthfully. every time i read his books i want to coil up inside the words, fall into his world and stay there, always.
weep or paralyzed with fear, for that matter. but yes, as you've said-- i would live in any world he invented, be it full of horror or not.
(yes i am a fellow murakami fan because i cannot not admire a person who writes books the way all books should be written - books that leave their footprints in reader's subconsciousness. this is what the majority of art fails at doing, regardless of its "art" status. tell me, do you like classic literature in general?)
he is heavenly, indeed, indeed. i have yet to read his new collection of stories, blind willow / sleeping woman, but if it's half as good as the elephant vanishes, i'd be delighted still.
admittedly i used to be very hesitant when approaching considered classics, somehow i figured them to be boring, dreary, too stale and out of time - in other words; i was awfully biased and shamefully ignorant. then i read virginia woolf years ago and was immediately overwhelmed, couldn't possibly articulate what sense of awe she stirred in me. and there's also nabokov, tolstoy, carroll, pynchon, dostoevsky, andersen (..) - all masters of words, so yes! i've come to love classic literature but i'm, of course, not only limited to such. any book of any kind, as long as it makes me feel, becomes my blood and keeps me breathing, alive.

p.s. I once stood in front of Chopin's grave in Paris humming Mozart's Requiem even though I knew his heart wasn't there.
