What is the best work to get introduced Haruki Murakami's stuff?
After Dark if you want to read something short and sweet, a taster for the meatier novels he's written.
Norwegian Wood, in my opinion his best work, isn't filled to the brim with the absurd and is probably the best start.
Sputnik Sweetheart if you want Murakami experience but don't wanna commit to doorstopper.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is both one of its best and good intro. Kafka on the Shore is alright alternative.
Norwegian Wood is good read but it lacks all the surreal stuff he is known for but yeah somehow it's a really good starter. It's the book that made him famous after all.
Hardboiled Wonderland is again pretty different since it has almost noir/sci-fi/horror elements but it's without a doubt in his top 3. (With Wind-up and Dance Dance Dance)

He has been known to frequent some places in Akiba, so maybe working as a waitr"ess" there.

Norwegian wood for something more realistic.
Kafka on the shore for surrealistic.

Irony has to be subtle, you know. Otherwise it wont fuck people up.
I'm reading Infinite Jest right now. I do feel clever and well-read for getting the Hamlet references. This is immediately superseded by a feeling of disgust for feeling clever.
