How does Veeky Forums feel about Haruki Murakami?

Very very nice to read. Have read almost all of his novels.

I have yet to read him. I'm impressed by his output, not many contemporary writers seem to be as prolific.

>shit on borges
>love murakami
Sounds about right.

I purchased wind up bird Chronicle and found it very tedious. I admittedly read only 150 or so pages, but I didn't care for any of the characters and had no interest in the plot.

I keep reading these Japanese novels and I continue to be vaguely unmoved by them

no one loves murakami
no one shits on borges

i think you confused us for r/books. too many newfags
>murakami
>japanese

nice meme

OP here. I stopped recreationally reading around the time highschool started, but my junior year introduced me to Murakami and to this day (two years later) I love his stuff.

>doesn't read much
>likes murakami

checks out

He is literally a Japanese man. Writing books in Japanese

This man. In my country, he is nothing.

Fuck off Ryu Murakami

Twink

im /fitlit/ faggot, now bend over and take this cock

From only reading 1Q84 (in german), I feel like the literary value of his work does not hold up against his reputation outside of Veeky Forums, but reading it felt like shoving cheap yet delicious vanilla pudding down by the litre. Simple but comfy prose, very interesting plot and nicely drawn characters. I will buy more of his work eventually, if I find myself in the mood for it.

Shut the fuck up.

>no one loves murakami
I love Murakami

Like his earlier books better, but generally he's pretty decent.

1Q84 was the Aeneid and Ulysses of our time.

I have never heard so many fictional phones ring.
