just finished American Gods

10/10 book wish i had read it sooner. not usually the kind of book that i go after but i thoroughly enjoyed it

[strongbad]

Started 1q84

Have liked the one other murakami book I've read, am enjoying this one so far. Let's see if I can finish it tho lol

[Samus Aran]

i've read quite a bit of murakami, and enjoyed all of his work i've read thus far...but haven't gotten around to iq84 due to its length

[strongbad]

1Q84 was amazing you'd love it

Lots of people I've met get bored and dont finish it and maybe I didn't get bored because I've been camping almost every night and often without service BUT I loved the characters/plot/style. Rarely was I not engaged which is insane for how long it is

Reading Steelheart which is a cheesy X-Men like book my gf recommended. Will probably read Kafka on the Shore after I finish it to get more 'kami

Steelheart was a fun cheesy sci-fi read

Just started Kafka on the Shore

just started Kafka on the Shore

damn that was a fucking crazy book. very similar to 1Q84 in some regards. ending got kind of weird and i think i need to read some analysis to feel like i understand the themes but it was a really good read regardless.

@kaz what murakami should i read next?

[Samus Aran]

uhh if you haven't read wind-up bird chronicle, definitely do that one next

if you have, then...maybe hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world

haven't read wind-up bird chronicle. a good friend of mine also recommended hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world, so i'll probably check that out as well. ty

finished The Chrysalids

pretty darn good book. had potential to be truly great but was held back by a pretty predictable ending
