I wanna like Murakami, looking at this picture I feel like I should, but I read Wind-up Bird Chronicle and it was pretty lame.

I had to peek at TV Tropes, and I'm sure someone can do better (not all his works have these tropes, but they are his most famous).

Here's the Kafka on the Shore bingo for this

I wasn't sure if some of the squares should be counted or not, i.e. does the rice bowl hill scene(s) count as a historical flashback?

>>8838900
Sort of unrelated but has anyone noticed how Nabokov constantly uses the word "apricot"?
I counted at least 4 instances in Lolita. Saw it in Ada too a couple of times.

>>8839109
Can someone who has read Stranger in a Strange Land fill this card out?

>>8839003

can someone do this for norwegian wood please?

>>8838900
I spent a lot of time making this thread desu, can people please fucking make some bingo cards

>>8839028
Try A Wild Sheep Chase. Wind-up Bird kind of gets lost in itself at points, but that one's a lot shorter and is generally considered to be some of his top form. Plus, if you like it, Dance Dance Dance is a direct sequel.

>>8838900
So this is just a big spoiler thread?
