I just finished reading Norwegian Wood a few moments ago and it was really quite great. Has anyone else read any of his stuff? I'm considering reading some more of his after I read a few other books I need to get done with.

I have "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" sitting on my shelf. I keep putting it off but i'll get to it at some point. I've heard great things about it. What did you think of "Norwegian Wood"?

Kafka On the Shore is also excellent. It's right up there with Wind-up Bird Chronicle.

I almost bought this in Barnes & Noble the other day but decided against it. I'm kinda regretting it now.

Kafka on the shore is fantastic, so is Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world. I guess I prefer his more drawn out works. Maybe it's because of all the handjobs in those, I dunno.
