Answers inside

Finally am almost finished Birthday stories compiled by Haruki Murikami.
Some of the stories are so good that I want to find more by the authors (even if they do write adult fiction...).
Also finished The flying emu and other Australian stories by Sally Morgan.
She's a brilliant Aussie author.
The stories are funny but I gave up halfway through the book and put it down because she put so much morals into this one.
Picked it up and finished it, cause it was due back and it's on the Premier's reading challenge list...
