OHHH!!!! Murakami is awesome!! 
I read 1Q84 and loved it but I was so dissapointed in the ending. So many things were left unexplained. Like the "Little People" etc.

I read Norwegian Wood and loved it too but not as much as 1Q84. I just felt that Book 3 in 1Q84 was so rushed and urgggh..if only things were explained much better. 


I haven't read IQ84 yet, though I will at some point. If you're already familiar with him, I'd highly recommend Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore. They straddle the boundary between being enjoyable, accessible, yet surreal, better than any modern book I've read. If you found the lack of explanation/closure in 1Q84 frustrating, I think those two would be perfect for you. Kafka on the Shore might be one of my all-time favourite books. 


Ok I'll head to the bookstore this weekend and get Kafka! Thanks so much! =)



You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.

You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.
