this is one of my all time favorite books! but please, just read the english version instead of indonesian one if possible. I haven't read the later version but I doubt that it'll be as cool & hilarious as the english one! I can say that it's Ryu Murakami's best book. to be honest, I can't enjoy other works of him as much as this one. "In The Miso Soup" is not bad, but honestly I don't really enjoy "Piercing" and "Almost Transparent Blue". just my personal impression, anyway..

Not sure why but I found this book quite boring. I loved In the Miso Soup and Piercing so I guess I'm just more into his gory and violent stuff, 69 just dragged on for too long even though it's such a short book...

I didn’t get most of the references, couldn’t relate to many experiences 
Clearly this book isn’t my style
