1Q84, Book 1
1Q84, Book 1 | Haruki Murakami
CHI edition of Book 1 of 1Q84 - a runaway bestseller by Haruki Murakami. 1Q84 is a near-past story inspired by Orwells futuristic 1984. It is told through the bizarre experiences of two protagonists searching for each other: a woman who descends into an alternate universe in 1984 and goes on to commit murders, and a passive college entrance exam prep instructor with a fetish, who is also an unfulfilled and never published novelist. Both exhibit deeply rooted alienation reminiscent of protagonists in Murakamis works. In CHI. Distributed by Tsai Fong Books, Inc.

The 1 st book is a slow ride.
You get to know about the characters little by little the good parts and the bad things. We pretty much get interested in both life and the unusual circumstance occurring in front of them.
By the end of the 1st vol, the suspenseful tension is created which drives us to the 2nd volume.

We snowed down today, so I decided I needed some help on my #audiowalk today. Slightly cheating, but it was a nice walk/sleigh. Still enjoying my Murakami book, but it‘s gonna take me a while to get through this #chunkster.

I got in a long #audiowalk after work today, which was really needed for clearing my head after a tough workday. Thanks for the motivation to get out.

Different scenery than yesterday, same book 📚

Lauram What a great photo! How did you manage 29 floors? 5y
hilded @Lauram Thank you! I think the fitbit is not so precice all the time, as it probably counted steep hills in addition to actual floors maybe. But also, my office is on the 15th floor, so that helps. 5y

Love the idea of sharing a picture when doing a #audiowalk. I had a lovely walk to work this morning with this very entertaining book on my ear 📚🎧 You can see the office building in the front.

My first book for 2019 is this #chunkster. It‘s the Q1 read for the #Reading1001 group at GR. This will be my first Murakami, very much looking forward to enter his crazy world. I‘m only five chapters in, but so far it‘s intriguing!

It also fit my #AtY2019 challenge for the #multipleperspective prompt. I plan to use book 1-3 for three separate prompts, haven‘t decided which ones for the next two though.

As soon as I started reading this book I knew I was in for an adventure like no other! Kafka on the Shore was the first book that made me intrigued and obsessed with Murakami, I then gobbled up his ‘The Strange Library‘ and couldn‘t wait to start another of his books! So I went in to volume 1 of 1Q84 with high expectations, and I most definitely was not let down. #booklover #bookish #bookdragon #bookporn #murakami #booknerd #bookcommunity

I've been able to read a bit more of book 1 of 1q84 by Murakami. I'm loving Aeomame's character and her backstory! It's so sad and beautiful and so unique! She's officially become one of my favourite characters, ever! #HarukiMurakami #1Q84 #bookish #booknerd #bookphoto #bibliophile #bookdragon #booklover #bookaddict #dystopian

The other day I went to a lecture about Japanese author Haruki Murakami, the lecture was held by the Danish translater of Murakamis books, it was really interesting to get to know more about his writing technique and his characters - I definitely want to read more of this author 😊
