Hey, I'm sitting next to a pile of four books, trying to decide what to read next--I'd really appreciate your input. They are:
1. Norwegian Wood by Murakami
2. The Devil in the White City by Larson
3. Middlesex by Eugenides and
4. Little Big Man by Berger
Any help is appreciated, as is your time, as is the withholding of any general abuse this post may incline you towards. Thanks!

Those aren't Greek.

Well, Eugenides is.
OK, just tell me if Norwegian Wood is a good place to start with Murakami.

How does that matter? Did you borrow them from a library?
If YES:
then you're an idiot for borrowing so many at the same time.
If NO:
Then perhaps you bought them. In which case you're again- an idiot or le idiote in French and if you're a woman.
OR
If you got them as a gift then you have seriously good friends/family. In which case you should respect their wishes and not compare them and think which is the best one and worth my time right now in my life. They're all good (in their own way) and thus you're an idiot because you disrespected your friends and family by saying that 'They don't know me'. Guess what 'You don't know yourself'.
Any way i say it:
YOU'RE AN IDIOT.
Thanks for wasting my time. I hope i have wasted yours too. Go fuck a cactus.

It's different, in a sense, to a lot of his other works, in that it lacks any fantastical elements, but it's as good a place to start as any if you bear that in mind.

It's where I started, and he turned out to be my favorite writer. But as others mentioned, it's rather different from a lot of his other popular works, almost entirely devoid of anything supernatural.
I own copies of Norwegian Wood and Middlesex but I haven't read either. Several friends of mine love Devil in the White City. Hope this helps, guessing it doesn't.
