A lot of the hate I see for house of leaves is usually knee-jerk 'its popular so it can't be good ' varieties

Murakami also loves to make the reader feel like a terrible person

Did anyone read Danielewski's other book where there were two stories happening simultaneously throughout the book? I've wanted to try that but I haven't really heard anyone talk about it

Murakami def. writes magical realism or maybe magical surrealism but if you can't take weird sex scenes then don't read it. he has cool cats in his books tho. I thought the sex scene in 1Q84 was with a high schooler (it wasn't actual sex? Iirc) which is prettily common in Japan I thought House of leaves is really good!! I didn't know ppl hated it, it creep me the heck out

I've read 1Q84 and it gets really self-indulgent. It had a bunch of good parts but it's hard to recommend unless you really like Murakami. I hate to think of all the people that were introduced to Murakami through it. Thankfully his latest (translated) book, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, is quite good.

I can't hate 1Q84 though because it gave us the line: "When it comes to being gay, I'm in the big leagues"

I was confused but I was also confused by house of leaf so maybe I'm dumb I'll try it then I was confused too but it was a fun experience I've never really gotten good at reading things past a surface level, so themes need to be like smacking me in the face for me to pick them up. I've always wondered if that's hurting my enjoyment of some things I read or not
