You know it's been translated into English, right?

In fact, all of Worst Murakami's books have been translated into English.

You don't learn an incomprehensible language to read about people in 60's Tokyo eating spaghetti, smoking, having sex with older women and listening to classical music.

I learned Japanese to study in Japan, not to read that book. I just can't read higher than around middle school level, so I still can't read that book.
