The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

[Anonymous No.1483931]

This is my first experience with Murakami, and I am absolutely entranced! I'm not quite finished yet, though...

Opinions? Recommendations for my next Murakami? I was thinking "Sputnik Sweetheart" or "Kafka on the Shore"...

I've only read this and After Dark. I liked Wind-Up a lot, After Dark was just ok. People have told me Norwegian Wood is a good one of his.

Enjoy that feeling while it lasts, because every Murakami book is the same.

Norwegian Wood changed my life.

Will it change yours? Probably not. But it's still great.

>Norwegian Wood
Allow me to summarize the book so you don't have to waste your time reading it. Ahem, apathetic man goes around and has sex, apathetic woman dies, apathetic man cries apathetic tears, apathetic man has sex with an elderly woman.

You're welcome.

That's one hell of an analysis.

If all you remember is the sex, well then you may very well be a nymphomaniac. Good for you.

Read Norwegian Wood OP.

Apathy + Sex

After Dark, its fantastic and captures Murakami quite well, says I. OR Kafka on the Shore, but like...After Dark isn't as loved for some reason.

hmmm

I did not care for it. it was well written and everything, but just not my thing.

/lit/ seems to like Murakami a whole lot, but I am certain that it is not because 4chan is infested with weaboos or anything.
