I really enjoyed 1Q84, and it was the first I read. I think the end, as with a lot of Murakami's stories, relies heavily on personal preference. If I had read it at another time, I probably wouldn't have liked it as much. I think the meandering worked in that story like it did in others - it serves, I guess, to further the universe.

In any case, what did you think of the Windup Bird Chronicle?

Disclaimer: I have a beer or two in me and I am very tired; this is definitely not as coherent as the post itself.

I loved TWUBC! It was the first of his that I read and it got me hooked on his blend of everyday life and weird, vaguely magical happenings.
