Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called The Second Bakery Attack, here are some Trailers

Yeah apparently they changed the UK release date to November as well. It was first announced as September, but they changed it here

On Amazon UK it's also 13 November now

Another cool easter egg is if you purchase the re-release of 1Q84 that comes in a 3-book set, the way the typeface reflects Murakami's name spells out three different Japanese words (Haru, Kimura, Kami). I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, but it sure seems like something I'd find savvy in the design world to sneak in there lol.

First Person Singular is exactly what she means. I don't know what country you're in, but if you happen to be in the US, this is the amazon page for the paperback.

I also loved Never let me go. I think I can tackle 300+ pages even if it is just okay - Thanks for sharing

I am reading this book right now and it is unrelated to all of this -- But it is quite good so far so I am sharing it because why not ;D

Cherry by Nico Walker

Ig colourless tsukuru is also available in this Priti group by the same Vintage publishers just the front cover is a little different but the same vintage printers. Here’s the link if you want it

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage https://www.amazon.in/dp/0099590379/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_4V55VWF18SWSX0MGVRXT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Far less complicated.... I use Calibre . If you have any eReader, I highly recommend it! It's shareware, runs on pretty much any OS (not phones...), wonderfully documented, stable, and updated frequently.

When I started, I just did some fancy Google searches. The meta-data has the site and publish date.

Posted the link to the ebook in comments. Here is the print version. I can’t decide which one I want lol. Maybe print cause I doubt I’ll be traveling to Japan anytime soon…

The Murakami Pilgrimage: A Guide to the Real-Life Places of Haruki Murakami's Fiction https://www.amazon.com/dp/0998427837/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WG2G0VK2J0WGTE0KATY6

I know my comment is a little late but when I saw your post it just hit me that you and I completed reading Kafka around the same time, and I know that "wait a minute, that's it? There has got to be something more right?" kind of feeling.

When I picked up Kafka, I barely had any idea about Murakami's peculiar writing style. He likes dropping riddles throughout the book, which when you dissect and solve, they work together to give you a clearer picture of what's going on. I think he considers it his reader's job to unravel the mystery, to find our own interpretation, to make sense of the surreal, dreamy world he has crafted for us. Murakami has mentioned on his website that Kafka is meant to be read more than once, so you can absorb more with every reading, each time with a better perspective.

Here's little something to help you figure out the plot (let me make this clear that I'm not claiming that it is the "correct" explanation or something, you're free to have a different take, it really depends on how you perceive it.)

Ig it is the Vintage International edition. You can buy it on Amazon.in only if it is sold by Cloudtail, U-read store or Amazing_Buy (because they are Amazon owned sellers) because sunrise, atlantic etc sellers sell with a heavy markup or else simply buy from Amazon.com

Try z-lib.org. It's a very diverse database with pdfs and e-book formats for numerous books. As for the other people that feel the need to take the moral high ground for no reason, hope you guys feel good about yourselves.

Looks like this is a collection of photos of shirts Murakami loves, plus essays or perhaps accompanying notes on the items.

Here's the Amazon link if anyone wants to see more: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Murakami-T-T-Shirts-I-Love/dp/0593320425/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&qid=1614699231&refinements=p_27%3AHaruki+Murakami&s=books&sr=1-2

I'm finding it easy to follow actually. I'm reading the Penguin Classics edition translated by Robin Buss ( Amazon.com: The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics) eBook: Dumas, Alexandre, Buss, Robin, Buss, Robin: Kindle Store )

I haven't read other translations but I highly recommend this one. As I said, it's really easy to follow, and it also has a nice Notes section at the end. To be honest I found some of the notes to be a bit too much, but others really helped to give some needed historical context.

Good news / bad news-- It seems as it was released with the Japanese version, but it's expensive

It seems like more than a few people are not terribly against the idea of the book, so here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KNTKMXB/

The paperback will be released soon, if you want to wait for that. Thanks in advance for the support, it means a whole lot to me.

You can search used books in Amazon to find different editions — this one is up for grabs used for $4 + shipping

Yes— A Wild Sheep Chase is the third book in a trilogy. Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are the first two books. You can buy them together in one volume.

Oh a really cool thing that is on my list as a big Murakami fan is this https://www.amazon.com/Hear-Wind-Japanese-Haruki-Murakami/dp/4062748703 A cool Japanese cover edition of Hear The Wind Sing, translated in simple language so that Japanese people can learn to read English. It is Murakami's first book and seems like a cool thing to own.

Edit: also this book wasn't even available in English until pretty recently so there's a good chance he or she hasn't read it!
