oct. 25th release date for 1Q84...the wind up bird chronicle is my favorite out of murakami's books, but large pieces of the book were edited out for some reason...i hope that is not true of his latest book, but based on the page count of the original japanese and english versions, it could be missing some stuff...i hate how they come out with hard covers first...i'll have to wait another year for the paperback version
