is this any good?
>not buying your own books like an adult
What's it like being a NEET and living in your mom's basement, you cucks?
>>7479718
no. its probably his worst yet. dont let the length fool you into thinking its anything remarkable of his. if you like murakami read it anyway but I rank it below even most of his short novels
>>7479718
I am in the process of reading it right now, and have enjoyed it a good deal.
It feels like every chapter the image I have in my mind of what I think is going on is proven false. Or, it's like at the start of the book you see only a small picture and the picture gradually gets bigger and bigger as you start to realize what it actually is.
The writing style can be kind of odd, I feel like there are often little segments in chapters that are completely unrelated to the narrative and only serve to detail some other part of a character's personality, but maybe that is a Murakami thing. I haven't read any of his other works.
>>7479734
whats his best in your opinion?
>>7478534
That's a really nice edition. I used to pop it open in university and read a whole novel or play at a time. The intros are more delightful than insightful, but on the whole a worthwhile purchase.

i wanted to read some murakami and i was going to start with norwegian wood, but i got turned off on it after i heard alot of people say every one of his stories is basically the same plot line. i'll probably still read NW though

>Browsing local book store.
>Notice a paperback has raised cover art.
>Start to gently run my fingers over the front cover.
>Feel a tightening in my pants from this new tactile sensation.
>Clutch the book tightly to my chest and run out without paying.
>At home I force the book down onto my bed, and whimper as I crack the spine.
>Quickly I pull my pants and briefs down to my ankles, already hard and pulsing, engorged with lust.
>Leaning down over the bed slowly, "Shhhh, shhh, no more words honey" I whisper savagely, "You've been written so bad and it's time to get read real good".
>The pages crumple wildly under my quivering hips.
>I thrust rapaciously, fingers caressing raised front cover all the while
>"You wanted this" I cry out "You wanted all of this"
>My ass-cheeks wiggle as my sphincter clenches with sweet release.
>"OH GOD, I WANTED IT TOO!"
>Later at the book store, I make some offhand remark to the confused clerk about how the prosaic nature of the author's prose displays the moral bankrupt nature of commercial industry and ask for a full refund.
>He offers store credit, I accept.

I laughed more than I should have.
Since santa isn't real i guess ill buy it for myself photography books are fucking expensive though.

A high quality of collection of The Disasters of War prints by Goya. There is the cheap one I can get for five dollars or I can get an individual print for a hundred. If there is a better option that someone on /lit/ is aware of it would be much appreciated. I've been trying to find this for a while.
