This is a cool book. The hardcover is printed with her face and the jacket is printed on see-through vellum to accentuate it.

This is 3 books in one. It was on my Amazon Book Wishlist before Moid from Media Death Cult hyped it. That just made me want to read it even more.

Uhoh its 923 pages … I‘ll need to treat it like 3 separate books

vivastory I have the 3 volume set of this. Also, love Media Death Cult channel 2y

I'm still not entirely sure what it exactly is that i read. But i found myself trapped in this wonderfully enchanting story, which took me to a place between fairytale, sci-fi and fantasy. I can't stress enough how magical this book is, you have to read it for yourself to know.

I am posting one book a day from my extensive to be read collection. No description and no reason why I got these books. Some are really old and some are new; there are quite a few. Join the fun!

This is day 9.

Checked this out, couldn‘t complete it, returned and the hold came through. This novel features Aomame, a very interesting female assassin who kills men who harm women. It also has her childhood love, Tengo, who is another realistic man. Aomame realizes she‘s an alternate reality called IQ84 in 1984. This was an enjoyable Murakami complete with magic realism, intriguing characters, excellent storyline, and a religious cult. TW sexual abuse

CareBear @Amiable thanks for hosting!! 5y
CareBear @Velvetfur I did it 100 pages per week with the chunkster challenge and that made it much easier! 5y
Velvetfur @CareBear Oh that sounds good, to set a weekly goal, haha! Thanks for that 😊👍 5y
Amiable @CareBear 100 pages per week makes it totally doable, doesn‘t it? That‘s been the secret to my success in getting through a lot of chunksters! 5y

My first review on here, 2 years ago, and of course it was Murakami. What a heavy tome to start with! I had 2 earlier posts with images, so I don't know why I didn't have one with this- I just hadn't figured out that the pics were the thing! I got 3 likes, 2 from still-active users- @Liberty and @MaureenMc ! Thanks for the wonderful 2 years Litsy!

SailorMoon Nice reccomendation, at least for my experience. I started this book not used to Murakami's style and I bailed halfway through it... not my cup of tea, but not a bad book. 6y
callielafleur @SailorMoon I would definitely not recommend this as anyone's leap into Murakami! If you ever want to dip a toe in again, I would recommend 6y
SailorMoon Thanks for the suggestion!!! 😉 6y

Billypar As I was scrolling I was trying to like the original post and was puzzled why it wasn't working 😂 6y
callielafleur @Billypar 😂😂 I should have put on an outline. Sorry about that! 6y
CaitlinR Great review for a first. Hardening back to your original suggestion, I usually steer folks to the WIND UP BIRD CHRONICLE for Murakami newbies. I love his works, although I agree 1Q84 is a slog at times. 6y
Blaire @billypar me too!! 😂🤣😂 6y
Blaire @CaitlinR I agree. Wind up bird chronicle is a good first murakami. 6y
MaureenMc 👍😊 6y
callielafleur @Blaire @CaitlinR WUBC is one of the few of his that I haven't read! It's nice to hear people have a positive view of it, I had heard some people (maybe over on GR, which I find to be much more negative than Litsy) say it was their least favorite. It's on my list! 6y
Billypar WUBC is not just my favorite Murakami, but one of my all-time favorite novels so I agree with @Blaire and @CaitlynR Hope you like it when you get to it! I actually haven't read Norwegian Wood or IQ84 - they're actually the next two I was planning on trying. 6y
Blaire @Billypar yes!! It is one of my all-time fave books as well. 🙌 6y

This was the biggest #Chunkster I could find. I haven't read Murakami but everyone seems to praise his writing and loves him! It's on my TBR

Mehso-so

Utterly confused at the half way point and looking for a bit more plot progression, the characters tend to have fairly redundant conversations over what may happen that dont tend to help develop their viewpoints for better or worse. Still though, a fairly intriguing read that is far from the ordinary and has the potential to develop into something exceptional of they would just get to the point a bit quicker.

DebinHawaii Welcome to Litsy! 🎉📚👍Hope you enjoy it here. And check out @LitsyWelcomeWagon to get further connected. 6y

So @DiruVamp lent this to me about a year ago. She is a HUGE Murakami fan, no seriously, like HUGE. The audiobook version of all three books combined is on bogo at Audible, so I got the audiobook and am going to do my first “read-along”...at least until I reach then end of book two, then I will just be listening. 😝.

DiruVamp Hey!! I hope you like it!! 👏🏻🤓😍 6y
