Favorite book by my favorite author, it got me back into my childhood love of reading after a long hiatus in college. Wonder is my favorite feeling and Murakami really knows how to imbue a story with it. You do have to put up with him being a perverted freak on every other page but it’s worth it in my opinion.

Man is a FREAK OF NATURE. I don't know about inspiring, but it turned my day to night. I love his writing, it's deeply unsettling stuff.

I read this book in high school and I would certainly classify this one as weird. The whole book kinda just had me questioning everything and has an Oedipus Rex thing going on. I didn’t think I would like it initially, but once I finished the book it was funny to look back on. Very strange though! 😭

One of my fav books. In Tokyo, after dark, a young girl wanders around experiencing city life. It‘s split up into hours of the night and you can read in real time if you’re dedicated enough. The author loves referencing pop culture too, If you’re into that i’d definitely check it out

I sometimes worry that people think I do this to be quirky but actually I just really feel the weight of making sure this little guy is having a good life on my shoulders. it takes a lot of patience and occasionally results in disaster, but it’s worth it.
