Come at me bro. I'll defend any book in a tier. Most likely complaints will be against Norwegian Wood, I know that's popular. And yeah, I consider most of his books fairly average, BUT enjoyable and worth reading. At a guess, I'd say 1Q84 will be High Tier or Good Tier. Looks pretty sweet. I hope the hardcover has a white cover like his other books.

Why Wind-Up Bird Chronicle?

Because it rocked, that's why. I suppose it was more a random grouping of short stories than a novel, but almost all of them were good, some great, and the sheer quantity helped it too. I'm surprised this isn't one of his recent novels, he seems to have matured in it. I don't see how any fan could dislike it.

There's still another 3 months until 1Q84 comes out in the UK, and it seems really long. I'm also not happy about it being split into Books 1 & 2 / Book 3. They could've put it into one edition, and just charged more.

Lol @ hating Hardboiled Wonderland. I think it's clear who the real fag here is.

>> No.1963001

I'm reading hardboliled wonderland atm. And it's by far the best book i've read by him so far.

All his books are pretty similar though,
