To cut a long story short, this novel is about a guy, your typical male Haruki Murakami character, that truly goes on a wild sheep chase.So I always thought that's what life is like. An ongoing search.I really liked the writing style, which was simple and full of emotion, whilst the plot was origina...
I'm going to keep this as short as possible. Hell, I'm not even sure if I'd call it a review, other than the fact that it does have my rating for it. Murakami isn't the easiest author to review. You're thrown into strange journeys and you're never quite sure if you understand it all--yet you have on...
You can definitely tell this is early Murakami, but it was still great. I'm sitting here with postpartum book depression, wondering what I'm going to do when I run out of Murakami books to read.
Murakami's books are very hard for me to review/write about. Before I sat down to write this, I went back to look at my reviews for the other works I've read by him. They weren't helpful in the least. Two of the reviews were extremely brief and for the other book, it appears that I just left a star ...
I can't beat Joel's picture review. Go look at his review instead of mine.This was Murakami's first novel published in English, and it's got everything I like about his work - and most of what he was become known for: the dissociated, disaffected characters, the portrayal of contemporary Japanese cu...

Let me get this rant over. Murakami's main character is one of a sad sob ordinary guy. His wife will walk out form his life, even his girlfriend and even his cat will leave him too! But however, he always can make perfect spaghetti dishes for you! Yeah that's right, almost in every Murakami's books ...
Translated from the Japanese by Alfred BirnbaumOpening: It was a short one-paragraph item in the morning edition. A friend rang me up to read it to me. Nothing special. Something a rookie reporter fresh out of college might've written for practice.Ginko leaves strewn across the ground.#60 TBR Busti...
The photography of a wild sheep has appeared on a magazine. A story about obsessive quests, unfruitful chases, memories of what's been lost, weakness, casual sex, beautiful ears, loneliness, being nameless, the constant of mediocrity, inside demons. And an unexpected supernatural touch.Some facts ab...
Murakami's first widely published novel. It took me a while to get into this one, the first 30 pages or so went very slowly. This is the fourth book by him I've read and it seems to me that Murakami wasn't yet running at full speed with this one. All the Murakami-typical elements are here: a cat, so...
