film omits the last chapter
film has Malcolm McDowell
film has scoring by Wendy Carlos

film wins

Book. Ending was more practical and down to earth. Loved the movie too but the ending was kind of absurdist masterbation.

Film. Kubrick > Burgess. Also the less I have to read or listen to that fucking disgusting chav dialect the better

Latro in the Mist (in parts, some of it is in Greece, some in Persia, some in Scythia)

The patrician thing to do is what some Muslim scholars did when their libraries were burned down--transcribe from memory all the destroyed books in your library.

Buy the ones I was most fond of/most read but rebuy them with a mix of newspapers books.

>Can the quality of a literary piece be judge after a short time of its creation - like literary critics do-? Or do we consider the quality of a literary work in relation to its influence?
>Can be great and non-influential literary works?

All of the above.

Literature is gay.

After Dark if you want to read something short and sweet, a taster for the meatier novels he's written.

Norwegian Wood, in my opinion his best work, isn't filled to the brim with the absurd and is probably the best start.

Sputnik Sweetheart if you want Murakami experience but don't wanna commit to doorstopper.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is both one of its best and good intro. Kafka on the Shore is alright alternative.

Norwegian Wood is good read but it lacks all the surreal stuff he is known for but yeah somehow it's a really good starter. It's the book that made him famous after all.

Hardboiled Wonderland is again pretty different since it has almost noir/sci-fi/horror elements but it's without a doubt in his top 3. (With Wind-up and Dance Dance Dance)
