August Book Haul

You can find this on Goodreads.

The first book I started to read early this month was Sputnik Sweetheart, a book by Haruki Murakami, which first published in 1999. I am reading the e-book version (still isn't finished yet), and I can't read this as fast as when I read a physical book. This is the second work of Murakami I read, the first one was Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. Though, this is the first of his novels that I read. Using his specific characteristic of writing style, Murakami told about Sumire, a girl who fell in love with a girl too, Miu. He used the first person point of view, but the narrator wasn't the main characters. Previously, I also found his tendency to use this kind of point of views in several short stories in Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.

The second book I read concurrently with Sputnik Sweetheart is The Hundred-year-old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. I borrowed this book from my friend's book shelf, Halimah (she's the one who's a die-hard fan of Ika Natassa). She got this book from a blended package from Litbox. It was a long time since I saw the Indonesian-translated version of this book at several book stores, despite of the fact that I was attracted by its long title about a long-lived old man, I never decided to buy it. Actually, I have had the e-book version, but as you've known it before, I prefer to read a physical book than a digital one. (Although I have read e-book version of some books). I hope I can finished those two books soon, since I have another three books I need to review, from Divapress.

Beside those two (which I haven't finished yet), I have finished reading Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas by Eka Kurniawan, one of the Indonesian influential writers. He was given a nickname as "the next Pramoedya Ananta Toer".

Then, I've got these three new-released books from Divapress.

I like the cover of Kafe Serabi and Caraphernelia. The latter has a title that make me wonder what it is about. While, the The Architect is one of a book series called Novel Profesi (a genre published by Divapress which tells story about the main character's profession.) Previously, I have read another books of this genre, included The Violinist, The Dancer, and The Doctor.
