I read The Elephant Vanishes year ago; actually, I think it was the second book I'd read by Murakami, the first being The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, and since then I've read most of his little shelf. On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning is still one of my favourite short stories. Here's a download link. I stand by my opinion that 1Q84 is nothing more than a huge disappointment, though.

That is indeed a fantastic short story. One of my favourites in that collection. 1Q84 is still one of my favourites. That's probably because it was the first I read.
