Murakami has a flair of writing, it’s his way of life, routine and love. He doesn’t need to preach it, if you read/ listen to his work, you will know.He mentions that every-time his readers give their time and money to him, he doesn’t want to disappoint them which makes him do what he does so well.While there is a lot I liked, few articulations intrigued me:1. Writing is like opening a Russian doll and finding an even smaller, more significant part of the same being2. Inefficient vocation is the boring path to an unwritten marvel3. World of writer is a flipside of being clever and efficient.4. Books give the conditioning to your writing muscles5. Growth comes from consumer observations that can be turned into insightful characters or propositions for films. Marketers will understand the second part of this :)#bookreview
