The Story is about our 19-year-old Toru Watanabe, an ordinary guy, who loves to read Great Gatsby on repeat. Toru loves Naoko, but she cannot reciprocate her love, as she is totally broken by her boyfriend‘s death goes into depression, and later admits in a faraway sanatorium. Later, Midori comes into Toru‘s life and they begin a bond between them as they share their feelings and open their heart to each other.

Parvez Toru finds himself entangled in a romantic relationship with these two women. There are lots of themes discussed in this book, like, Depression, Death, Loss, Loneliness, and Love. 9mo

Reading it reminds me why I enjoy reading fiction. It was so addictive and felt like I lived a life that is unique and ephemeral. Murakami has this way with his words to guide us through this intricate journey as we meet Toru, Naoko, Midori, Reiko, and a whole lot of unique characters, their life, Trauma, Depression helps us understand their inner struggles to move past the barriers and open up their heart for another person.

Mental illness is the cold corpse of a lover, dissolving in a world where life and death are one.

3.6/5 🌟

A book about loss, grief, mental health & flawed human beings. Suicide features heavily in this book so it's not a happy, fun book. I didn't love the ending but I did enjoy reading the book.

My latest bookclub book. Weird, weird, weird. Didn‘t love it but didn‘t hate it. It‘s the second Murakami book I‘ve read and both didn‘t wow me. I won‘t be reading any more of his books. I feel something is lost in the translation maybe?

I couldn't understand the hype for the book. All I could understand was that many people that the author knew committed suicide and that he had sex with lots of girls/ women and that he fell in love more than once. Didn't find the book depressing either! Couldn't understand what he is trying to convey!!

This was my fifth Murakami book.
The people i talked to ( people who have already read the book) told me it affected them very severely and that confused me when i completed the book cuz i felt it didn't affect me that much.
It was only a while later that i realised that it was a slowburn and the book affected slowly, but once it reached the tipping point, it evoked so much emotion and pain that it almost took me down a spiral. A brilliant book!!

“Norwegian Wood” is one of the most beautiful and saddest books that I have ever read. I love the author and I have enjoyed each one of his books, but “Norwegian Wood” was the first one that I read, and it has a special place on my Murakami shelf. The film is also beautiful.

Not exactly a book that oriented with my reading environment, but Haruki Murakami‘s “Norwegian Wood” was filled with beautiful prose and reminded me to slow down and truly look at thinks while I was running around one of the craziest places on Earth. There was a lot of sex, like more than I normally tolerate in a book, but the messages of Life and death and relationships resonated so deeply that I still enjoyed it. #disneyworld

I have not posted on here in a while but I have been reading! Time to play catch up. Pictured are the books I found today in a little free library. I'm most excited about the spanish grammar even though it's old. I've heard great things about Murakami and Ferrante but have never read anything by them 🙈so I'm looking forward to those as well.

Lindy How lovely to find such treasures! Enjoy. 2y

A book filled with grief, loss, loneliness and sex. I liked the descriptions and the mood Murakami set in the book. But it feels like this is a book readers will enjoy only if you‘re a fan of Murakami. It was a vague twisted love story with way way too much sex. Overall I never got bored but I wouldn‘t recommend the book to just anyone. It‘s somewhere in between Pick and So-So. Full review on www.anushareflects.com

I forgot i had this on hold at the library for the longest time. It‘s one of the books I‘ve to read for my ‘100 books to read‘ poster so I‘ll give it a chance,
If I don‘t enjoy this one I think it‘ll be my last Murakami

The_Penniless_Author It's very different from his other well-known books, much less surreal. If you don't like this - and weren't crazy about his other stuff- then I think it's safe to say his writing's just not for you. 3y
Cazxxx Since it‘s less surreal I may get on with it a bit better. I definitely agree that his writing might not be my thing and I‘m ok with that as we are all different 😊 3y

The_Penniless_Author

This is the book that rocketed Murakami to stardom in Japan. A prototypical coming-of-age story set in late-60s Japan, it focuses on a college student's relationship with two women- one the traumatized former girlfriend of his best friend, who committed suicide, and the other an outgoing and self-confident classmate. There are a lot of cliches embedded in this plot, and I can't say it's easy to care about the characters, but Murakami writes... 👇

The_Penniless_Author ...beautifully, so it's a tepid pick nonetheless. If you've never read him before, though, start with Wind-up Bird Chronicles. 3y

I TRIED to finish this bc it fits one of my reading challenges. We have not 1, not 2, but THREE manic pixie dream girls who are overly needy and sexualized. I persevered after Our Hero “sleeps with“ a distraught & crying MPDG#1.🤮Still cont'd after MPDG#2 confessed to a (fetishized) lesbian experience with a 13 yo student.🤮🤮MPDG#3 has just asked Our Hero if he will “think of her while masturbating...because we are friends“.🙄

All kinds of NOPE.

Maybe there was more I wanted to read...but yet I was content, content about the friends who were made in the process of losing love, about the relationships that were simple despite the complications in trying to describe the nature of it. How we wish life was always simple, and yet it is complicated only in our head! #Murakami, you have detangled so much inside me, and yet left a itch...I would never forget even a fragment of this piece!

The more the memories of Naoko inside me fade, the more deeply I am able to understand her. I know, too, why she asked me not to forget her.

abhilucifer It's one of the emotional books one could ever read. More inclined to the emotional and self awareness type as compared to the Kafka on the shore. 4y

This was one of the easiest book I have read. I felt the way they portrayed depression was pretty interesting and realistic. I loved the atypical melancholy that follows throughout the book however there were some parts which I couldn't really get my self to love.
I felt it was really difficult to fall in love with the characters. I even felt the book was over sexualized in many aspects. And the female characters were very submissive.
