Gimmicky, boring, erudite, autistic. I liked the ending, it managed to pull something off. When he starts tallying up every stray and idle thought into a table and tries comparing it with others. Are we the sum of that. It's a surprise that he took such a light-hearted sincere approach to corporate culture, he is enamoured with it. What did you think of it
>>7458065
Why would I 'move' to Murakami?
I never had any interest in reading his books.
>>7458310
Was Failed States any good anon? Sounds interesting.
>>7458310
How was Gilgamesh?
I have plans to read it soon.
This is bait.
>>7458457
Yeah, I liked it. It seemed a bit unfocused at times but I enjoyed reading it.
>>7458465
I found it very interesting. It's very different from the Greek epics, and isn't 'beautiful' in a poetic sense. I was severely let down by a lack of knowledge of the culture it came from, and so I can't say more than a purely subjective opinion. And I had fun with it, for what it's worth. It'll not take you long to read.

Fair, orwell to murakami made sense for the things i was getting out of the books, 1Q84 is named after 1984 for a reason, but looking at your list again i guess animal farm doesnt have the same investigations of psychosis and memory as 1984.

Are you supposed to count Borges' collected fictions as one book, or do you separate out labyrinths, the aleph, and ficciones

Just an all up great book. Violent, edgy in a good way, and just balls out crazy. Narrated by twelve different characters, all are really interesting. Patois can take a while to get used to, and it doesn't help that the plot is very complicated. But it's one of those books that you can read a hundred pages of without stopping.
Seriously though, you have to pay attention. Zoning out for a couple of seconds is not an option.
>tfw got lazy in later months and only finished one book
I picked up 4,000 pages of reading for the next few weeks though so I feel back in the game.

I read Naked Lunch in January. Haven't read a book since. It ruined literature for me. I've never read so much fucking trash in my life.
