This is a long hard read. It's hard sci-fi. I felt dumb AF because it's pretty much all physics. It's good, but I had to take a break after, instead of jumping into the next 2 booksJust started this:
Got a homie who's a hard sci-fi head and been recommending this book and it's sequels. Told me I better prepare to :futurewhy:
@MidniteJay @ me when youre done w this. Would love to hear what others thought of this
Just started 1q84. I hope it's worth the 1000+ pages.
Also the last two books I read were The Nix and All the Ugly Wonderful Things. I recommend both.

Prince of Darkness
Blood, Sweat and Pixels.
Not sure what I’m gonna move to next. I’m thinking between the world and me, 48 laws of power, book of five rings or the last werewolf.

This thread is dope, I have a hard time finding new books outside of the genres I gravitate to.
same. Im getting excellent ideas on my next reads...
I seriously didn’t know where to start to look. I’m so tired of going to books with storylines on the games I play.
I’m going to piggyback off the author @86\*/98 mentioned and read “Men Without Women”. I’d like to read 1q84 but I don’t think I’m ready for 1000 pages yet and the reviews on iBooks are mixed despite it being 4*.
Im going to check out Dark Matter and Daemon for some light sci-fi then dive into The Three Body Problem for that heavy...

didnt like this one
The problem being; Murakami is a bit pretentious. He expects the reader to read his books over and over. For me, that makes whatever "puzzle/riddle", useless. It loses its "flavor" the minute you give no real answers. While Inception did the same thing, there was conflict, and ultimately an over arching story of moving on. KoTS is just a lot of wasted print. And yes while many critics may praise his arrogant style of writing, its like he's forcing readers to jerk him off. No thanks....I got enough of that with Fitzgerald..except, the Great Gatsby has lessons to teach.
I'm glad I saw this post because I've been thinking about reading Murakami for awhile now but knowing that makes it
for that shyt

1q84 was the first and only murakami book i've read.
i remember thinking the beginning was kinda dope.. and then it just got weirder and weirder without getting anywhere.

Kinda been on a True Crime/Serial Killer kick and this book is right up wheelhouse.
The book examines a series of gruesome crimes in 1900s where the killer would randomly kill everyone in a house at night and disappear presumably on trains.
The craziest thing so far is how with limited the authorities were in connecting/investigating the crimes, how often there were figurative witch hunts & how many of the 'detectives' of the era were straight con men. Bout 1/3 through the book now
