Bianca's comments from the Murakami fans group.

I read Sputnik Sweetheart first, which was a wonderful place to start, with a short but sweet book that contains all his major themes. Then I went on to devour Kafka on the Shore, Norwegian Wood, Wind Up Bird, South of the Border and some short stories ... So far, Kafka is my favourite - so rich and intoxicating, and I think his most cohesive work. If I'm recommending Murakami to a beginner, I always suggest Norwegian Wood because I think it's his most accessible. I've yet to meet anyone who didn't love it.
