I am half way through this beautiful book. It's got everything; Sex, intrigue, humor. Has anyone else read it. I totally recomend it, and I'm 3/4 done.

haven't read it, but it looks interesting.

I think of this as Murakami's opus. Some of the denser parts - like the attention to historical detail - felt very un-Murakami and were challenging. Still, it's on my list of books worth reading a second time.

My two favorites are by far Norwegian Wood & his most recent (non-short story) Kafka on the Shore. But really, if you love the marriage of the mundane with the surreal & the recurring theme of people gone missing, you will read each and every one of his novels.

As for the shorts...I think he achieved a new level of short story writing with After the Quake. It's the only book of shorts I've read where I didn't feel at some point like I was being tasked...

One of the best reads in years. I totally love this book.

omg i read this last year.. or was it the year before that? I think 2005.. I was totally engrossed in it..

I love how Haruki writes..

I love how cant remember his name, but would just go down into the well and sit for days.. and the history of the professor?



its totally enchanting.. I would recommend it to anyone
