to be honest, i felt a little uncomfortable while reading it, but i also think about it a lot now and i actually really enjoyed it! the journey that tsukuru tazaki goes on and the differences between his life and the lives of his friends is so interesting to me. uncovering that mystery as he goes & figuring out just what happened for them to have left him??? i couldn’t put it down!!
i think it’s not for everyone though. a lot of murakami’s works are like that to be honest, and like i said it made me go “eugh…” a little too… but if someone asks me for one of my favorite books i think i’ll continue to tell them it’s this, just because of how much the story’s stuck with me!!

Incredible book that changed the way I appreciate art.
Honourable mention to G. by John Berger, fiction but also excellent.

This is a beautiful and gripping exploration of Japanese aesthetics and what it reveals about Japanese culture, how it contrasts with western cultures, and what it says about us as human beings. Cannot recommend enough.
