all da females do so by nature I say I do
throw some japanese in there and they all go wooo
yes, very popular with the ladies
I have read quite a few of his books... I enjoyed them, for the most part.
what were your favorites?
Norwegian Wood was good. Sputnik Sweetheart was weird, but I sorta enjoyed it as well. There are a few others.
i read that one about sheep for AP English. I'm honestly not really a fan of his work at all. Don't enjoy his writing style.
ah yes, the sheep one i read that
whose writing style do you enjoy? we never have any discussions about literature on these forums, so i love hearing about posters preferences
I'm a huge fan, but I prefer the less crazy books like Norwegian Wood and South of the Border, West of the Sun
Read Kafka on the Shore maybe 3 years ago. Got real weird in the end.
The Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood are his best works. He has a unique style, but he is pretty overrated relative to some other Japanese authors. Check out Kazuo Ishiguro and Yukio Mishima for something that is more nuanced and powerful.
isn't yukio mishima kind of overly nationalistic?
