I just read Norwegian Wood by Murakami in two days, for the most part I would say it was pretty good, but with quite a few waffles - a bit too oversentimental at times and it really drags on in parts. That said, certain things about it resonated with me on a deeply personal level, and I related to a lot of the main character's feelings and experiences. Can't help feeling that something is missing though, and that it's all a bit aimless - perhaps the point? Weirdly conflicted about it. Anyone got any experience with his other works?
Three Stigmata by PKD was excellent, tho!
