After weeks of waiting, April has finally arrived! That means that today is the first day of the #winditup2013 read-along! For those that signed up officially (over 70 readers) or for those that want to read quietly on your own, pull out your copy of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and dig in.
Here is the schedule broken down, but please do not stress over it. Read it when it you can, and post comments here, or on Twitter and include the hashtag #winditup2013. That way, we can search for that hashtag and see all the Tweets pertaining to the book. Comments/Tweets are not required.
Here we go:

Happy April Ti! I can’t believe today is finally here!!
Me either! It sure came up fast!
Have fun…I might be one of the silent ones…lol…
That’s okay, but you? Silent? LOL.
Yay!!! I’m so excited for this and have a bit of a head start. Figure I’ll browse blogs for 30 minutes at lunch and then read for the other 30. I might have calculated out that I only need to read 12 pages a day to keep up. (though hopefully I can manage AT LEAST that). 😛
You are doing great!! I read some right before bed but I keep having to stop myself so I don’t get too far ahead. We are heading to Palm Springs soon but I’ll be on Twitter checking out the comments.
I’m in. I have the audio, and I am going to get started tonight!!
I can’t wait to hear your take on the audio. I have listened to two of his books on audio and they were good.
Wow, I’ve just started reading the book and I’m more than a little surprised at how sexually explicit it is. I’ve never read Murakami before.
Some of his books are, more so than others. Haven’t gotten too far in yet with this one.
I’m just going to pick my copy tomorrow so I can’t wait to start!
Sounds good to me!
I’ll be starting this week, probably Wednesday when I have a bit more time, but I’ll be reading a book a week because my ebook is due back April 20. I’ll try to save notes, though, for later discussions.
Have book, ready to go!!!
So far, it’s easy reading. Read about 90 pages and forced myself to stop.
I’ve got the book from the library and I’m starting it this morning! I’m going with print but I’ll be interested to hear opinions about the audio edition because I loved Kafka on the Shore on audio.
I listened to Kafka as well and it was really good. It was my first Murakami!
Good luck, everyone. I’ll be sure to check in so you all can explain some things… 😀
Well I just remembered this readalong and don’t even have a copy of the book. I think I may just have to let it go by the wayside and read it some other time. The entire contents of our house is supposed to be arriving soon and I’m pretty sure the unpacking is going to keep me occupied for quite a while.
All the very best of luck Ti. I will be following the discussion as I have read the book.
Can’t wait to discuss it with you.
