Seriously, I've dropped the 4 most famous of his novels at around ~50%.The atmosphere he creates is good, but is it all he has? No plot (not that it really matters), no philosophy, no deep feelings, no interesting characters, no poetry in his descriptions. It's just everyday life with bits of dream like elements.Maybe I got spoiled, because the last books I read were for Tolstoy and Mishima, but I really don't get why murakami is so highly rated.

>>25091816Poor man's Borges. It's japanese fiction for middle aged anglo women.
I liked Norwegian Wood when the hag tell about her yuri experience and whe the Mc fucks her four time at the end
