His writing might not quite be feminist (though I don’t think it’s sexist or misogynistic, either), but I do quite appreciate how his protagonists do not tend to perpetuate ideas of machoness as a requirement for maleness.

I think it's surpassed Wild Sheep Chase as my favorite one of his books.ĮDIT: I'm going through all of Murakami's fiction novels, chronologically.Orders are processed and dispatched Monday to Friday. Overall, I think it was the hardest it's been for me to get into a Murakami book, but then end's up delivering that Murakami style that's so compelling about his stuff. That whole half of the book was such a different story than the previous Murakami stuff I read before, and I think it was a really good juxtaposition with the weirdly whimsical Hard-Boiled Wonderland half, and the whole binary/duality theme through the book was compelling.

In the beginning, the End of the World part really dragged for me but as it started interweaving with the main story I started to really enjoy it. I really enjoyed Hard-Boiled Wonderland and kind of wanted to see what other's thought. I've read 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Wild Sheep Chase' before, and consider myself a Murakami fan. I just finished 'Hard-Boiled Wonderland and End of the World' by Haruki Murakami. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is a book that is part of the science fiction and surrealism genres and has a story that is alternately told in two settings.
