This was a great short read for a Sunday morning, thanks for posting this.
Just yesterday, I read Sputnik Sweetheart, and convinced myself to read more Murakami. In the process, I've noticed his works tend to be subtle, and yet are very good at making me feel all sorts of emotions in the process.
- showerst 12y agoDefinitely read kafka on the shore or wind-up bird chronicle next. Most of his short story collections are excellent as well. I'm a huge Murakami fan but his style hasn't evolved hugely, so I'd recommend against binging on them so you don't burn out.
- aerovistae 12y agoWind-Up Bird Chronicle is amazing. My two favorites by him are that and Afterdark which is very short but incredibly fascinating...I think it's his best work, pound for pound.

- cyberjunkie 12y agoI'm reading Sputnik Sweetheart too and it is brilliant. If you want more gripping stuff, there is always "Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche". It's a collection of interviews from different people affected by it and how their tales sync with each other. Very, very good!
