Returning from a long hiatus, I resumed my reading of the remaining books from a pile of short stories by Haruki Murakami. I am now in the middle of "The second bakery attack". If my memory is actually as adhesive as I think, I might have come across my favorite story so far. It's the one about a mysterious instance of a disappeared elephant. The protagonist is an elephant-lover; I consider myself an elephants-lover, too.
