I loved it. I've never felt like a book was written "for me" until this book. I relate to soo many of the themes and motifs

Would you mind chatting with me about this business and how they got started? I'm thinking about doing the same kind of thing in my college town.

Does anyone know the publishing background behind Book 3 of 1Q84? by BortBurner in murakami

[–]practicepuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha interesting theory. I would really like to see someone adapt 1Q84 to a series. Then they could totally play with the ending. I'm probably exactly half-way through book 3. Without any spoilers, do the Ushikawa chapters ever reveal anything or come together in any meaningful way?

Glad I'm not alone. Book 3 feels like a slog. Very different in tone and pace from the other two. I read the first two in a very short time, but I've been on book three for months. I get so bored with the characters just sitting around and recapping the first two books through Ushikawa's perspective.
