What's your opinion on Murakami?
He has certainly written books.

That's a fact, not an opinion.

I read Kafka on the Shore and enjoyed the dreaminess to it. Then I read he stated that the book was like a riddle, with a different answer to every individual, requiring many rereads to solve, and thought he was an insufferable hack.

Good writer, a bit overblown and overrated, but I'd rather read him than have cancer.
>>8273472
Pure paperkino

What's the best biblio you've ever read?

Eeeee, eee, eeee - le Sincere Asian rapist man

He's ok, but all that I've read of his seems like it's pandering to freshmen uni students trying to broaden their horizons by reading a novel from the exotic land of Japan or some shit.
>>8273459
Not the cancer people make him out to be.
A good entry point to Japanese Lit and magical realism
Kafka On The Shore was wonderful. very comfy although very self indulgent. incestual sex scenes for no reason and whaty I can only describe as a self insert Gary Stu. The main character lands on very convenient situations and is very self sufficient and independent despite being a teenager. I liked the more surreal and magical realist parts of it, especially the village and the old man that spoke to cats and the colonel Sanders god.

this.
this is so true.
murakami is an alright wirter, i would say even good, but he is greatly overrated, and mostly worshipped by kids who are trippin' they are widening their horizons, and oh my god the fucking japan, those guys are so weird, so exotic, i'm so cool
Underground is a great book
