What are books, OP?

Stay mad, Murakami fanboy.
You could have at least shared some thoughts with us on this.

It's kind of sad how Japan stopped producing good authors since Mishima's early demise.

Haruki Murakami is a plagiarist and an untalented, unimaginative author.

He stole the name for his book "1Q84" from George Orwell's most famous work entitled "1984".

Ha! How clever, I'll replace the "9" with "Q" and no one will notice anything! Even though Q and 9 are homophones in Japanese language and pronouncing the names of these two novels in Japanese would sound the same.

But this wasn't the first time something like this happened. Seven years earlier, he used Franz Kafka's last name to name the main protagonist of his novel "Kafka on the Shore" and basically the book itself.

Why is this guy so uncreative? Why does he have to steal things from other authors?

And why are his books so awful and nonsensical? If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

In conclusion, Haruki Murakami is David Lynch of literature.


Do you agree or not? Share your thoughts on this artists with me, /lit/.

Don't start with those /jp/ memes, friend. I was obviously mocking OP's retarded way of typing.

I have a brown belt in Judo, and I could kick the shit out of you all. Fucking nerds.


I train 4 times a week, go to college, and spend most of my free time reading books and being here. Fuck off, OP.

That's a rather interesting story, you should write in your book about it. Now that I mentioned it, how's your book coming along, /lit/?

Fucking greentexting scum.

Yeah, I understand that it's all just a Biblical allegory.
East of Eden is Steinbeck retelling the story of Cain and Abel set in the 19th/20th century.

Cain/Abel = Charles/Adam = Caleb/Aron

What's the big deal?

If I was born before Steinbeck I could have wrote that story as well.

>Adam, Charles, Aron, Caleb, Samuel, George, Lennie...

Those are some casual entry-level names, man.
