Independent Organ was classic Murakami - contemporary yet remote. A seemingly neutral protagonist narrator telling a story that is initially profound but eventually sad. An ending that could be introspective or just peculiar.

So I've already finished the first two stories Drive My Car and Yesterday, and I have to say that I've missed reading Murakami. His stories always have measured cadence that doesn't quite build up tension but more distills things into a cleaner essence of itself or something. These stories are more contemporary, exploring different aspects of love and relationships. Don't expect magical sheep men this early.

So I finally finished the Enchiridion portion of this double-feature book and OMG what an experience! This book is far more detailed than I expected to be and the medieval-style art is just gorgeous. Sure it's not necessarily all that revealing for in-show canon stuff but it's a heck of a lot of fun. The other side is proving to be even more intriguing though...

I know this is "just" a companion book, but it oddly feels somewhat cold and distant from the rest of Discworld. Is this just because Sir Terry Pratchett has already left us?

Finally finished with all of the original Masters of the Universe comics and it has been quite the trip! Onwards to She-Ra!
