Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (one of the first books I read)

Norwegian Wood is how I was introduced to the world of Murakami. Murakami is a scientist who can play with characters, plots, and words.

I have read the book now, and at some point I didn't want this book to end, but once I hit the final chapter, I felt a deep sadness and wanted to read it to it's conclusion as fast as I could. Good review it resonates with my own, Thank you.

This is so true that the book can be comforting as well as uncomfortable!

I just finished this book and now i can smell rain.Murakami the genius.

My ex-girlfriend borrowed me this book around 7 years ago because she wanted to infect me with reading passion and she kinda succeed on that. I don't remember the plot but I remember that it really touched me and I truly discovered the magic of books back then. Now I am in the middle of 1Q84's third volume and bought used Norwegian Wood just now so I can have it for myself. Thank you for expressing yourself, very interesting usage of words.

I read Norwegian Wood a few months ago, although I heard about and meant to read it years before. But I feel like I read it at a good time, and I was able to somehow draw some comparison to my current point in life: my living abroad by myself, trying to find beauty in all the ugliness, and feeling lonely in a city of millions. I didn't go into the book expecting a love story, fortunately, which some have pointed out may lead to some disappointments. All I kind of knew about the book was that it's on the life of a young man trying to find love and himself, and a contemporary setting. It's a story I'll keep in a special place in my heart.

This is my favorite Murakami book. I agree with you that it is not a love story. Most of the folks I know that did not like it, went into it thinking it was a love story. I have not re read it in many years. I'm almost afraid to re read it for fear I won't love it as much as I did the first time.

Loved the video, Ayesha! For a book that deals with grief, depression and suicide, I found it strangely cathartic.

I love murakami and his first book i read was Norwegian wood and i got hooked i don't understand about people talking about how he writes women bruh his books are about hapless nothing happening enjoying it is the main thing just go with the flow enjoy the plot

a precise review and to the point. Loved the review! Thanks!

I can not comment on literary milestone of Norwegian wood. But to me its story is something that i will never be able to forget .

Have you read «Hear the Wind Sing» by this author? It's a first book of Murakami

This man wrote all the women in the book as if he has never interacted with them

Woh Woh wait a minute, I was watching videos regarding quants, how did I end up here? God is this is a sign? should I start reading books other than light novels?

Hi Mam You must try any of Sobers Rodrigues' books. Especially 'The Vasai Side Story'. It's very impactful.
