Jonathan, You might want to read A Wild Sheep Chase 1st, considering Dance is it's sequal. 2 very good books. Norwegian Wood was very good too. Kafka is next on my list from HM. Can't wait!
I thought Wind Up Bird was incredible, but I think it's because i read a few of his other books 1st and got a feel for his style.

So I just finished last night. Still trying to take it all in. I'll probably write my review later today, but I was just curious what you thought. One thing I know... If I ever hear that bird I'm going to kill myself. haha!

Right??? screwed me up all day at work today! If I am going to recomend this book (very sure i will. havent been disapointed by Murakami yet)then it will definitely come with a warning!

Currently reading this which is my 5th from Murakami. just finished the torture scene which was insane!
I just started Murakami a few months ago. I gave Sheep Chase to someone who thus far has complained about the whale penis. I convinced her to stick with it. "It's sooo worth it. I couldn't even sleep after i finished it....." blazey blazey. We'll see, but I have hope.
Hard Boiled Wonderland is with a friend of mine as of Saturday. It was rather difficult to explain the book to her, but I'm confident that she'll give it a shot. I convinced her that it's not as sci fi as it sounds.
I also read Dance, and Im going to read Wind Up Bird next. Glad I waited aftr seeing the comments!
A wild sheep chase was my 1st. A guy working at the book store recomended it. I want to thank him but I never see him there any more. He opened up a whole new world for me!
