glad to hear you liked kafka on the shore. i read this book too many years ago to remember specifics but i do recall enjoying it. murakami's work is always worth reading. sputnik sweetheart is still my favorite you make a great point about the translation. a good translator is worth his weight in gold. one of my favorite books was somewhat recently reissued with a new translation that i thought was awful i'm not surprised to hear that some women might not appreciate murakami's work. i get it as well but then don't read it. seek out art that appeal to you since art, after all, is very personal not all stories have endings that wrap everything up. that can be frustrating for readers. then again, it can be a way to reflect reality since in the real world we are often left without any answers to questions that we have about our lives always great to hear your perspective. happy reading!
I agree, books without an ending is as real life you can get if you don’t like it don’t even read it, it reminded me about the ppl who don’t believe in got but spend all their time nick picking the Bible lol I’m so worried I got a bad translation of war and peace, I don’t think I have it in me to re read it lol Thanks for watching friend
This was a great book. I read it a few years ago, and gave it 5/5 stars. I don't remember too many specific details about it anymore, and there were definitely sections that I wasn't the biggest fan of (the other character who experienced fish raining from the sky, etc.), but I remember the wonderful, somber and sad feelings that it evoked in me during certain parts, like Kafka's romantic relationship with the librarian, and when they listen to music on vinyl together. Beautiful
I didn’t mention the raining fish, some people think that Nataka was causing the weather, but I think his more basic nature made him better in tuned to nature. It was so sad that miss Saeki considered her life over when she lost her love to protesters violence, and she was using Kafka as a substitute! What a crazy story, thanks for watching
Sounds like a trippy book. I'll have to get to it soon - been reading a lot of genre stuff lately, getting back into the mood for something non-linear.
If you like that whole Mickey Mouse artifact thing, then I think you need to watch The Gods Must Be Crazy. Absolutely hilarious movie. At minimum the trailer, you'll get the gist from it, lol. Come to think about it, might not be the most PC thing these days . . .
I’ll check the gods must be crazy, it’s one of those movies I’ve always heard about. I don’t think anything made 10 plus years ago would pass the PC test lol Thanks for watching your a better person then me, watching spoilers videos for books you haven’t read

This is the book that got me into reading back in like 2016. Love it !
All of Murakami’s books are a good wild time.
It must be insane in Murakami’s head 🫠

@@PoorPersonsBookReviewer it's not a book I'm going to get to anytime soon, so not worried about spoilers 😂 But it is one on the endless TBR . . .
