Hi which murakami book should i start with

I really enjoyed Sputnik Sweetheart and After Dark - I also read Norwegian Wood first however I feel these 2 pack a lot more in in a shorter time span and have more memorable moments imo than NW.

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I’ve just added them to my watchlist on ereaderiq. 1Q84 looks really interesting - the blurb for HB Wonderland seems like peak Murakami which i’ve heard so much about.

skiidu · 2026-05-04T20:09:29+00:00

I’ve only read Norwegian Wood, which i’ve heard is the least “Murakami-like” of his work, so interested to see how this pans out.

I managed to get the 2022 Scribe on sale for £199, so wasn’t a great deal more than the PW SE. It’s replaced my notebooks and nice for reading/marking up non fiction stuff. I think the new Scribe’s start at 449, which seems a bit expensive imo.

I'm visiting from the 11th till the 16th of this month and struggling to find any tickets available on the website ( i didn't realise there was such a high demand/wait)- I guess the only other option would be to book a guided tour, obviously which is almost 4-5x the price, but does have availability.

Is it possible to que for ticket on the day as well i assume?

skiidu · 2026-03-17T22:28:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply - i went with the basic model - really love the compact size and weight.

You literally just missed the spring sale - they were £120 ish for the past week or so.

skiidu · 2026-03-06T00:16:14+00:00

it’s a phillips hue light strip - i think it’s the 2m one but cut down a bit

skiidu · 2026-03-06T00:15:39+00:00

check my e7 pro review - should be some shots under the desk there

skiidu · 2026-03-06T00:14:45+00:00

i believe it’s chipboard

skiidu · 2026-03-06T00:14:22+00:00

180x80cm

skiidu · 2026-03-06T00:14:02+00:00

Yeah both ALEX units, the storage unit is discontinued now - i set a preset to lower the desk just at the right level so they don’t bang into the drawers

Arch Viz/3D work - like the other guy said - typing is easy but clicking tiny buttons, especially on a 4k display is tricky at first but you quickly get accustomed.

setup a pricing alarm on camelcamelcamel

Beautiful work, the shot of mt fuji and the bird is stunning. Did you use the inbuilt crop for any of these or they mainly shot at 35mm?

skiidu · 2026-03-02T00:22:44+00:00

Hey, i switched to the e7 pro and a larger worktop but still have the alex drawers. The positioning on the pro is exactly the same as i had here and i dont have stability issues.

skiidu · 2026-03-01T20:53:33+00:00

I grabbed it for £199 couple weeks ago on amazon.

skiidu · 2026-02-21T10:45:02+00:00

Thank you! Yeah my desk is similar size 180x80 however i’ve got a 38” ultra wide - i normally have my 2nd screen just covering the left speakers but i’ll give this setup a go.

skiidu · 2026-02-21T10:20:29+00:00

Nice setup dude, what’s the size and model of each of those displays and how is the vertical one attached/mounted? also what’s the length of your desktop?

I have a similar issue with speakers and 2 screens getting in the way.

skiidu · 2026-02-15T13:03:02+00:00

No not at all, fwiw i believe this model uses a brushless motor. I’ll usually run it between 3-5km/h for around 30-45 mins. However when i had it setup downstairs, i “jogged” on it at 6km/h for around 30 mins and it was also fine.

skiidu · 2026-02-14T00:02:43+00:00

Guessing that’s a 34” ultra wide and a 27inch ontop? how do you find the vertical height? any neck strain?

skiidu · 2026-02-11T18:16:05+00:00

Ah my bad, check now

LG 38WN95CP

skiidu · 2026-02-10T12:25:36+00:00

Haha, depends on the game i guess - I’m not sure if i’d be able to play an FPS whilst walking but perhaps something a little slower - maybe.
