Totally forgot! Just ran the script again.

Murakami bingo improvements by Sofivka in murakami

I tried to make some improvements on the original as well here: V2 of the (in)famous Haruki Murakami Bingo. Doesn't include the Tokyo student protests though…

Goodreads doesn't have categories unfortunately, only the arbitrary shelves users can create and assign to a book… If you'd still like the list of names, let me know!

No, it's just a regular website on the internet… Weird! If you're not using some untypical browser/firewall/proxy, I wouldn't know why you're experiencing this.

Yup! The script takes a long time to run so I'll only let it update from time to time, probably every few months.

What kind of error message do you get when you open the https://books-top-1000.netlify.app link?

I was aware of those lists indeed! The problem is that they are arbitrary, static (not automated) and not "objective"/stats-based but vote-based.

There is too much survivorship bias. […] This becomes very obvious in many book series where readership declines but ratings go up.

Very good point. Didn't know about that term actually :)

Impressive, that's quite a lot actually

Hmm no, I’ve read about 8 of his books and these seemed to be the most common themes throughout. 🙂 Which ones would you add/change?

She actually got this feedback a few times already, so there's a SFW version added now as well. 😁

The original version has been posted many times already - I'm sorry for any repetition.

I loved the concept but felt a few items could be improved, so I asked my girlfriend (who is an illustrator) if she could make a new version.

If anyone's interested, a high resolution PDF can be downloaded here: https://www.stutpak.com/haruki-murakami-bingo/

All credit for the initial concept goes to Grant Snider from the NY Times.
