wind up bird may in fact be the worst book ive ever read.
i dont think ive ever been as angry at a piece of lit as i was at that one nope definitely not

>>24842420 (OP)
He deserves it but he's too popular now.

redditor spotted. go back

>>24843260
Redditors hate Murakami because they think he doesn't know how to write women.

>>24842420 (OP)
Because he's a crappy pop lit writer. I'd group him in with Stephen King and Tom Clancy.

>>24843275
>because they think
lol he literally doesn't. there are japanese cartoons with better written female characters.

>>24843292
so you agree with the redditors? Opinion discarded.

>>24842420 (OP)
I'll give you a (big) one to win.

>>24843207
Don't listen to this chud people it's pure kino.

Funnily enough Wind-Up Bird is maybe his only good book. Since then he's just been retreading the same ground, but not as well. IQ84 is almost beat-for-beat just Wind-Up Bird but worse.

He will win when its time for an asian male to win again. Black female is up next.

I really enjoyed Colorless Tsukuru, peak comfy.

What'd you think about Kafka on the shore and the hard-boiled wonderland one? I've been meaning to check them out. If anything, it's relaxing and entertaining slop.

>>24843882
Not who you asked but Kafka is peak Murakami weirdness. A good time, a bit too loose in terms of the narrative but worth the experience. I bounced off Hardboiled a long time ago, I need to give it another shot.

Because they ain't ready

IATA but he (me) is correct.
I have never been so abused by an author.
50 allusions to the fact his wife is cheating on him. Laborious, time consuming, endless allusions.
And I'm sitting there thinking to myself
>"all right, this is not a Japanese cartoon, this man is a widely respected great master, surely my expectations will be subverted or at least this will all be to some purpose.

But no. She's just cheating on him, all those allusions were simply page padding.
>Okay okay, but she had a good reason ri..

No, she (the incredibly dull meek asian woman caricature non-entity who shouldn't even be a character and who's only redeeming quality is maybe loyalty), randomly decides to be a gigawhore one day and runs away to take care of every unsucked cock in the kanto, and this is what the book is about.

>>24846006
It's ok to be retarded anon

No he sucks big white cocks you moron. Fuck off back to goodreads

You don't even know why you like it dipshit.
No one with unironic bike-cuck psychology (as the book advocates) is a basket weaving forum user. Not even our trannys.

You like it because you want to be seen as the sort of person who likes him.
