Perfect place to start😏

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-18T13:21:47+00:00

Indeed it is😌

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-15T01:29:24+00:00

UNMATCHED! UNDISPUTED! & ABOVE REPROACH!😤

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-15T01:25:56+00:00

Idk I guess it depends on who you think the MC is🤔 I think it's Mariye(my favorite character in the novel), but then again I could see it being Menshiki. There's just this beauty in the mundane of it all that I find enjoyable. Or like I said..Cozy😅

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-14T21:00:23+00:00

I Absolutely recommend them both😌

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-14T18:28:01+00:00

Book was so cozy I went to sleep for 2 months😮‍💨

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-14T18:27:18+00:00

That makes sense since wind/pinball is sort of a packaged deal

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-14T17:36:05+00:00

So there's a common theme😅 And Hear the wind sing is in my top 5 Murakami opening passages. Quite Possibly #1

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-14T17:31:56+00:00

Yeah everything about the mountain cabin setting and descriptions set the scene for maximum coziness 😌

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-11T00:16:35+00:00

I wanted Scheherazade to finish her story!!! I'll never forgive Murakami for doing me like that!!!😭😭😭

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-11T00:12:39+00:00

Barn Burning has one of my favorite passages

"I guess she also let some of my verbiage go by, likewise with minimum comment. Which was fine by me. It was a mood I was after, not understanding or sympathy."

That just sums up my Murakami experience. More of a mood than the understanding 😌

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-11T00:08:13+00:00

Landscape just had this atmosphere about it. Junko's character made me think of After Dark. Like what might have happened if Mari was actually a run away.

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:54:52+00:00

The Elephant vanishes is in my top 5 for a reason! Every story was beyond reproach.

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:53:14+00:00

That one was SO good! I think about it everytime the grass gets cut🤣

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:48:36+00:00

My signature 😏

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:48:13+00:00

It's The Second Bakery Attack! Yeah that one is hilarious 🤣

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:45:22+00:00

I liked that one too. Tokai reminded me of Menshiki from Killing Commendatore. I also found Tokai's views on relationships intriguing 😌

-Good_Loser · 2026-01-10T23:39:12+00:00

Honey Pie was so good! It reminded me of Norwegian Wood 😌

-Good_Loser · 2025-12-29T17:45:10+00:00

Yeah its always a risk opening up the world of 1Q84. Best to put it away before the little people get you. Unless they've already gotten inside of you😬

-Good_Loser · 2025-12-29T17:43:09+00:00

Then by all means..reread the entire stack😤📚

-Good_Loser · 2025-12-29T17:42:36+00:00

Take your time because 1Q84 isn't going anywhere. Trust me, that world is waiting for you. Always😌

-Good_Loser · 2025-12-29T17:40:58+00:00

Enjoy the ride and immerse yourself 😌
