This dreadful, dreadful memoir.
Mostly because every single person in it is just awful. I have no issue separating "good character" from "good person", but there's no trace of either to be found.

This piece of shit. Murakami isn't great in general, but he certainly does have some good and decent works. This however is just one, long, rambling, unjustifiable piece of shit

There are plenty of books I started reading, disliked, and put down, but this was forced on me in highschool many years ago, and I cannot think of a single book that would better make young men stop reading forever, and labeling it as "boring".

Because if God doesn't exist then the will of God doesn't exist.

>>9319145
The notion of the will of God as a force synonymous with human will does not make God impossible or nonexistent.

You are taking the wrong viewpoint. Men & Women are 2 parts of a Whole. You should dislike the culture or the ideas that have spawned the conditions we live in, not women. People will always act in accordance to what is acceptable and will usually have trouble denying their inherent nature, anon.

You are taking the wrong viewpoint. Men, Women, Culture and Ideas are parts of a Whole.

>Why are we, who accept the undeniable truth, considered as misogynists?
well its not "we" its just some guys do fit the definition of it truly. but the rest that get called it are the equivalent of ppl on 4chan calling somebody a faggot.

its the old version of girls calling guys who pump n dump them "fuckboys"

All were very good.

SHUT UP!

>about 5 are actually good

Out of 300,000 books published a year, approximately 250 of those books are actually bought. Most new books go unread, cumulating to millions of unread books, mounting and mounting, making new books pointless.

in that case, i would recommend reading his other works

A lot of people would probably say 1Q84, and i'd probably agree that - objectively speaking, it's his most ''accomplished'' work.

Personally i preferred hardboiled wonderland though.

Brainlets. I should know, I'm one of them.

>>9318751
no. conrad parodied colonialism. it's just that daft wogs like achebe are too stupid to understand.

The black guy on the boat who got hit by a spear was killed by other blacks so it's not racist

>>9318751
Races are just a social construct it's not possible to be racist.
