I read this book in high school and I would certainly classify this one as weird. The whole book kinda just had me questioning everything and has an Oedipus Rex thing going on. I didn’t think I would like it initially, but once I finished the book it was funny to look back on. Very strange though! 😭

Favorite book by my favorite author, it got me back into my childhood love of reading after a long hiatus in college. Wonder is my favorite feeling and Murakami really knows how to imbue a story with it. You do have to put up with him being a perverted freak on every other page but it’s worth it in my opinion.

This book has been a very eclectic experience, in the way that when I read this book I feel like I am not only learning about the characters, but I am also learning things about myself. For example, this book shed light on a very harsh reality we live in.
I would say that this book is not the best though. At times I feel like this book can be a little bit to confusing of what the characters are doing. But when it's not confusing it's a very fun read. I would say my favorite part of this book is the exposition between characters.
This book reminded me why books can also just make such great games, and how games and book share so much more similarities than even books and movies. Because subtleties that occur in books can be brought to life much better in a game, rather than a movie. This thought came to me when I was thinking how cinematic of a game this book would be if it was made.
This is my first Murakami novel, and I am thoroughly enjoying it and have no qualms. I feel like his writing style is from like a introspection master, so I will be excited to read his other books.
Thank you for reading❣️

😃An artist and his crazy situationship find a weird hole in his laundry room and they become obsessed with it, trying to figure it out and putting things down there. The only thing is when you put stuff down there it comes back out totally different. Very bleak, very depressing but honestly probably my favorite book because it really shows how selfish humanity has become, but it doesn’t feel that way when you read it. It’s only when you think about the concept after you finish, you’re up all night thinking about it.

I feel like this is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to summer and a little mood boost :)
