Well my experience is quiet different. I never disliked any of Murakami's book. My first Murakami's book is Norwegian wood, i read it last year in french, and this piece of art made me love books even more. This novel still transcends me today. I think i will read it again in the future. He is of course my favorite author, and i totally feel you when you say that he allowed you to have a better perception of your real life. Each Murakami's book i read, is a new boost for my life, his books learn me how to live more properly, in a way i can say that he saved my life, throughout his fictive characters. In deed, i can easily relate to them, and then i feel better about myself. Sometimes i even think to myself that i would really like to live in some of his fictive worlds. Thank you for this video, the quality is really great.
I had the same experience where I started reading Murakami’s books years ago and didn’t enjoy them. I came back to them this year and couldn’t get enough. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that the magic isn’t an escape, it’s a reengagement - I think this is what makes his books so compelling for me now; through experiencing the absurd and unreal, his character somehow relearn and take back their realities.
Hello Josh. I found this incredible. I love the way you understand Japanese culture hear. Did they invent haiku, hope so. is right. I love the way you see the difference between eastern culture men and women. A protagonist sounds like a narcissist evil. In this day and age men like you and Aidan are far more convious. I love history this is what I learnt from your short movie. Books are beautiful to read. I love opening up the eyes of the mind in a novel. Lesbian I'm not at all but I'm going to try find the movie on bee. I relate to the Indian culture and do yoga as a daily practice. I read Amy Tan the valley of amazement. It's an easy read on what Chinese woman go through pursue it. It's really a quick read. I love the way civilisation has helped society to learn from the past progression is awesome. I love the way you say we need to dance. I love psytrance and plan on doing film crew work and helping Aidan do sound crew work at big parties and concerts. You so good looking. This was absolutely amazing to watch
oh my goodness, I have subscribed on the basis of this. Your views on Murakami mirror my own. However how could I know you would reference " a Portrait of a Lady on Fire" surely a masterpiece (mistress piece) and a future classic
Hello! This is amazing. I'm currently going through all my Murakami books and this just got recommended to me at the perfect moment. I wish more people would stumble upon this! Will definitely share this with my peers as well. Thank you for sharing your craft to the internet! :) All the best.
I like hearing about Murakami's books which I've always enjoyed. Mr. Krook ruined it by spending a quarter of the time touting the movie Portrait of a Woman on Fire. Why? To show he's a modern supporter of Feminists?
Next time just go straight talking about what the title of your video is about. So you won't bore the audience. You have a way of story telling and nice voice.
