Read every Haruki Murakami novel

My friend lent me this book called “Norigen Wood”. I`m a huge fan of The Beetals and I started to read it.It`s a sad lonely story.

just bought norweigien wood!

after this im going to mark this as done, because its close enough, and i wont be reading much murakami next year because theres so much more i want to try..

but its been fun and i might re-read some

i find if i read too much of the same author it becomes kind of diluted

so for now!

so far ive read

sputnik sweetheart
dance dance dance
south of the border
kafka on the shore
a wild sheep chase

and in a month or so im going to read norwiegen wood
i have another two books i want to read at the moment and dont have the time to juggle. six murakamis is enough for one year, i think! kafka on the shore is probably my favourite so far.

So far I have read:

A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel

Norwegian Wood

Sputnik Sweetheart

After the Quake: Stories

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel

After Dark

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

Reading The Wind-up Bird Chronicle now. A lot of thoughts. A thrilling plot. Murakami is like Dostoevsky.

. . . Dance, Dance ,Dance and Norweigan book can be added to my read list :) Both were excellent but very different – DDD weaving into fantasy, the unexpected round every corner, Norweigan Wood a beautifully straightforward yet complex love story . . . not sure what to read next. Was going for Sputnik Sweetheart but think that might be too similar – might try ‘After the Quake’, its meant to be very different.

I think I’ve read absolutely everything that’s currently available in the English Language. It’s very bittersweet but as long as Haruki continues to write, I’ll be reading every word that flows from his mind.

I have read:
Norwegian Wood
Kafka on the Shore
After Dark
Wind Up Bird Chronicle

I just bought Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. I love his books. :)

. . . have finished Kafka on the Shore, and read the whole of Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, both of which were amazing and have helped me get through lots of boring history reading :) Bought Dance, Dance, Dance today and will get started on that later this evening. This is so enjoyable that think i will have read all of them in no time at all. Almost feel like i should slow down and save them, but they are slightly addictive :)

I want to read all his novels and his short stories too. Luckily he’s still young and will hopefully just go on and on publishing his amazing books, so this is one i’ll be happy to pursue over the next few decades :)
