This woman is batshit crazy. She has a look like she has been fucked 5000 times!! Look at the utter stupidity on her face. HAHAHAHAHA. My god why do americans pretend to like Murakami I will never get it.

I don't really think that's true. Murakami writes for the general reader and he is a very popular author.

I masturbated to the third one from the age of 11 until 18.

are you fucking insane?

Read it once for pleasure and inspiration.

Read it a second time to write a full summary and notes on points of interest.

That's what I do. I never forget anything now.

I speak japanese.

That's bullshit, OP.

I think it's true that they use it much less in popular settings but using irony or sarcasm to ridicule their own culture is not uncommon among writers and other intellectuals.

I've met people who think chinese opera is all slapstick and some who think it's only long winded wailing. Sometime's the long winded wailing is very sarcastic as a meta-commentary on wailing operas and sometimes the slapstick is very sincere as a way of making something shallow deep.

I'm pretty sure she went off the deep end long ago

Not in the way she wanted to though, not in an ironic or "weird" way, she was always just crazy.

this is sad

Amazingly written, isn't it? AND it's minimalist.

I want to read more, haven't set a goal just yet but definitely more
I also want to write my novel, even if it's garbage, by the end of the year, hopefully I can do it before summer but we'll see

Same same. Good luck anon. I wish you success.

he gets raped by his mother, chloe

>>8911342
I know this is a lie
>inb4 he raped Phoebe

Holden mentions being sent to a hospital in the very first page, not even a spoiler. It's not some big reveal, not anywhere near the point of the book.
>Schizophrenic
That's just like her opinion man. a shitty pleb opinion
You'd need to read a paragraph to spoil this book. Even then you can't really.

Keeping a diary is a stupid practice. It can be discovered, and used against you.

Is that a techo?

He's probably kinda serious.
He probably outlined the book to be sad but when he actually had to write it his goofy personality just leaked into the dialog

Maybe he didn't know that things could be more than one thing?

>>8911235
obviously he knows there are funny parts. What he is saying is that he finds it strange and probably shallow for someone to respond to the work by reducing it to being funny. Obviously there are more sad parts in the book than funny

I wonder what he thinks about DFWs conspiring to murder and stalking of women

>>8911176

>BNW is a eutopia

No. It isn't. If you believe it is, lobotomize yourself and have a nice day.

he's got an hour and 43 minutes, by my time, to survive 2016

pretty sure that's Archibald 'Scooter' McMuffin. He was a well-known 19C phrenologist, currency debaser and wildlife activist who could literally give women orgasms by doing that thing you see with his eyebrows

pictures try to capture the magic
but back then all of the photographers were female
and that's why they couldn't hold the camera steady enough or zoom in so that science could explain it

one of my heroes for sure
