What is Murakami?

Hello Everyone, and welcome to our very first blog.

As a non-book lover, I always wondered "What is Murakami?" I had heard a lot about it, a lot of book readers speak about "reading Murakami books". I am more of a "movies over books" kind of guy so I never bothered to find out about what really is Murakami (until recently).

The Reading Journey is basically a journey of a non-book lover trying to read books, mostly fictional books. I have read a books titled "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" but that was a long time ago. That was an amazing book, however I never read any fiction books (excluding some manga like Boruto and Dr. Stone) after that.

Before proceeding forward, I do have another blog site "TheNerdyDude" where I post nerdy stuffs like Marvel, DC, Anime, Boruto(Anime and Manga related) and many more related blogs. So you can check it out if you are interested in those things.

Getting into our question "What is Murakami?", if you are a book lover, you probably know, if you are not, guess what, it's the wrong question. I used to think that Murakami is a series of novels just like Harry Potter, Narnia, Twilight, etc. Only recently I found out that Murakami is not a "What" it's a "Who". Murakami is actually the name of an author who writes books and his books in general is what people call "Murakami Books". Murakami is a Japanese author who was born in Kyoto, raised in Nishinomiya  and later moved to Tokyo. Some of his famous books are "Norwegian Wood", "Kafka on the shore", "South of the Border, West of the Sun" and many more, none of which I have read so far.

I am not too sure if these are a good choice for someone like me who doesn't likes much of reading, however I am going to give it a try. In fact, the next blog will be after I will start reading my first Murakami book. The one I chose is "Norwegian Wood" for which I already bought the Kindle version from Amazon. 

Well, that's all that I have for this blog. Thanks a lot guys reading this blog and have a wonderful day ahead.
