Does anyone read Murakami Haruki books?

The guys a really talented writer. His books give off a really magical, adventurous feeling and I love it.

I'm currently reading Kafka on the Shore and Wind/Pinball and it's a blast.

I really love the theme of fate/destiny that is presented in Kafka and I find it really fascinating.

Has anyone read else Murakami?

My brain practically short-circuited understanding this post! I'm sure it's not your fault, it was something about "Kafka" in the title and then you referring to it as just "Kafka" and my brain associated this post with your other post, and my brain tried really hard to convince me you were reading Kafka and then the name Murakami confused me because what's he got to do with Kafka, why talk about Kafka then ask if we read Murakami, is that a book by Kafka?

But I eventually figured it out.

I've never heard of him, but I'll take this as a recommendation. Thanks!

I listened to Wind/Pinball on audiobook CDs.
The writing was good, but I didn't care for the
tone or the characters.

Never read but heard that he's quite good. His books are on my to-read list and since you mentioned that they truly are good, well, maybe it's time to move them up by a few positions.

Read Kafka on the Shore, it's amazing.

I read Kafka on the Shore and After Dark, the style of writing can be very matter of fact yet complex and mysterious. I discussed them with a bookclub, and there were different interpretations of the ending.

Tried couple. Got bored fast. That doesn't mean that he would be a bad writer... I just mostly love to read non-fiction books.
