Noboru-san, I'm surprised no one has corrected your article until now. It's very good and quite interesting. I haven't read After the Quake, but I believe the translator is Professor Jay Rubin, who has translated a lot of Murakami's writing, and wrote a very interesting book about translating Japanese into English.

Finished reading "After the Quake" by Haruki Murakami

Notes:

* "Usually" - you have many choices of English adverbs here. You could also say "Normally I read. . ." or "I normally read . . ." or "I typically read . . ."

** "decided to . . ." - I added this auxiliary verb. It helps the flow of the sentence and makes it sound very natural. Note that the verb tense is different. "I read" is past tense, and it pronounced 「ㇾド」, but in "I decided to read" it's an infinitive, and "read" is pronounced 「リード」. 

*** "Hesitated" is the wrong verb here. To hesitate usually means a short, momentary pause. I'm not sure if "avoided" or "resisted" is better. It depends on how you felt about it.

**** "Eggs" - I don't think this word works, but it's a very interesting idea. Sometimes we use the word "germ" (not meaning bacteria, but rather meaning a seed) to talk about early ideas that lead to later creations. You could say, "many of these stories foreshadowed elements in Murakami's later works" or "many of these stories held germs of ideas that would be realized in Murakami's later works." I like the word "germ" (it reminds me of seeds germinating) but for many people, it has an association of bacteria and viruses that cause disease.

***** "Extremely" is an adjective. I don't think it works as an adverb. If "really enjoyed" is too boring for you, you could say "I found 'Super-Frog Saves Tokyo' to be supremely enjoyable." (I like to think of "supreme" as the English cousin to 素晴らしい)
