I’m 2/3 of the way through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and it’s a pretty wild ride. Definitely a book that you won’t know what’s going to happen next
This was my introduction to Murakami. I've read almost all his books by now, save for some of his earlier, less developed works. As you get through them, you see that he's sort of making the same soup with slightly different ingredients. I really enjoyed Killing Commemdatore and 1Q84. My least favorite was probably Colorless Tzukuru. His short story books, particularly The Elephant Vanishes, is really good, as are his two nonfiction books about running and Writing as a Vocation.
Good to know. Just checked out the so called short story about the elephant, 336 pages 😂
The book is 336 pages, not the story.
the elephant vanishes is probably my favorite of his books - either that or like a six-way tie but that is definitely the best short story collection
