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❣️

One of my fav books. In Tokyo, after dark, a young girl wanders around experiencing city life. It‘s split up into hours of the night and you can read in real time if you’re dedicated enough. The author loves referencing pop culture too, If you’re into that i’d definitely check it out

Man is a FREAK OF NATURE. I don't know about inspiring, but it turned my day to night. I love his writing, it's deeply unsettling stuff.

😃I am now remembering what it was like to be young and love people and remembering why loving others meant so much it was like love was a curse in the way that it felt like a trap so I grew up having a warped and tucked up way of looking at love but I feel like I am slowly healing my love like true love like love you fall into not just love for your friend. Slowly but surely I am finding true love.

😃I am sitting next to my windows in a all white brutalist apartment, with my all white cat, bauhaus record on the player which is placed in the middle of two book shelves the bottom rack is for records the top two racks for books.
I light my cigarette. I look down at the people, I quietly admire their outfits.
Drag. Open mouth inhale. Pucker lips exhale.
