What I'm Reading







Kazuo Ishiguro

A Pale View of Hills 1982

~ i felt so lost at the ending cos there were so many unanswered questions. i thought for one moment someone has torn away the ending pages of the book. i googled and gosh so many people have so much to say, lol. In the end i gave up reading the different interpretations and was at peace with the haunting feeling and questions. Excellent read.

An Artist of the Floating World 1986

~ didn't particularly touch me though it is well written. Perhaps the subject is something i can't really identify with. But then hoh, the next book Remains is about a butler, also not what i can identify with, but i enjoyed that book very much.

The Remains of the Day 1989

~ made into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson


The Unconsoled 1995

When We Were Orphans 2000

Never Let Me Go 2005


Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall 2009


~ humorous :) which is not what i expected!


OK, let's hope i can find the remaining books in the library when i'm in the mood for more.
