I feel like Murakami's short stories don't get mentioned as often as his longer works, what do you lot think of them? What are your favorites? Personally I like Sleep, a story about a women who has lost the ability to sleep and is spending her time reading Anna Karenina and getting drunk. I would recommend it for the opening description of insomnia alone.
