I finished The Nakano Thrift Shop in a week. This is the second book of Kawakami Hiromi that I devoured within days. I really enjoy her writing as it could easily transport me back to Japan. Her writing is easier to digest than Haruki Murakami’s, which I also enjoy.

I wonder if there is any other Japanese writer with the same writing style? Or maybe I should finish other books waiting on our bookshelf (Curvy Yoga and The Tarot Life Planner) to be read and loved before getting another Japanese Lit.
