What a shitty ending

>>8825482
he leaves the crazy chick that's a dead end for the safe bet? I'm ok with it.

>>8825482
yeah it was really dramatic and essenceless shit for teenagers

>reading a literal hack

you deserve it I've read 2 books by him too and won't ever touch any more

that means that some portion of the book interested you. What did you like about it?

>>8825722
Very good.

>>8825482
murakami should drop the pretense and just write the erotica he's always wanted to

It should've just ended after Watanabe sees Reiko off at the Station.
The last few lines weren't needed at all

It reads like a bad anime
or is it just me

It is a comfy book, pls no bully.

>Reading translations
DIE YOU FUCKER DIE! DIE DIE DIE!

Your first frogger.

>>8825482
It's the worst of all his works I've read.

this is the book that unironically got me into literature tbqh

>>8828000
murakmi is a great starting point desu
i dont care what lit says about his work

>>8825886
Why is Murakami considered a hack?I haven't read anything by him.Just asking.

>>8828000
>>8828449
I'm in the same boat actually.

I wish murakami just wrote straightfoward books like nw.
Tfw no nagasawa bro to discuss lit with and get you girls

this

norwegian wood is just an easy teenage novel

it can be pretty nice to snuggle with on a cold day. good if you're feeling indulgent.

far from a masterpiece. HM has written some half-decent stuff – i'm thinking the wind up bird chronicle and hard boiled wonderland. but I also think he's massively over-rated.

He's not good?
Probably that.

>Hey, he's a good starting point, guys.
So is Harry Potter, so is Camus, so is Amy Tan. I guess if you want diversity cred you could read one. w/e

Naoko a shit.
It should've ended with Watanabe fucking Reiko and then just walking off into the sunset with her.
Midori was better than Naoko, but you can tell she was gonna go down the same route Naoko did.

>>8829332
How so?

Also Midori > everyone.

Midori is my fictional waifu

>>8825482
the first girl i fell in love with gave me this book. she had a boyfriend and she decided to stick with him.

>>8829677
want to add that she was also crazy. told me she was raped by her brother which at this point in time i'm not sure if i believe because she was a habitual liar.

BUT PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY.
This board is full of "shit this, shit that" without giving a proper explanation.
