(2023_29) Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami (2)

I finally finished Norwegian Wood last night. I couldn't sleep, as usual, so I just made up my mind to finish the book. Only a few pages were left so it wasn't that difficult decision. This was my second time reading it so I tried to get through the book. I could feel the meaning of metaphors, such as Naoko as death and Midori as life. And this was a story about a man trying to get over a sense of emptiness and futility resulting from the death of Kizuki and Naoko. But I couldn't fully understand and feel empathy with a few things. Why were there so many sexual things? Why did so many attractive girls love Watanabe, who was just described as an everyguy? Could it be truly justified that he loves two girls at once? He was just a twenty-year-old guy so I knew things like that could happen. But just because I knew didn't mean I could understand. Anyhow, there was one thing I got: I tried to read it carefully for the purpose of improving English. I would say I understood nearly a hundred percent in this time. The last time, I read it with the audiobook so I didn't think I finished it by myself. So I was proud of finishing it with a new way of reading.
