Before I read this book I was a huge fan of Murakami. 'Wow, like a Japanese Iain Banks!', I thought after being entranced by both Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle.

Sony MSMT2G 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Card by Sony
Excellent product, works just as it's supposed to with no problems.

Rotosound Nickel Regular Gauge Electric Guitar Str&hellip by Rotosound
I wanted to get some heavier strings for a beater guitar so I gave these a go.
For acoustic it's Martin strings all the way but I hadn't come across anything comparable for electric. Ernie Ball? You can keep that slinky s*** away from my guitar for a start!

Rotosound it is. They feel right, hold tune from the start and last too.
Also the yellow box makes me happy and including a spare E string is just brilliant!
