20 years ago I couldn’t get enough of Murakami’s writing — it was exactly the kind of magical realist worlds my pensive, identity-forming, wallowing and nostalgic self wanted to exist in back then. I started on a high with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka On The Shore, and honestly it’s been downhill from there.
When I revisit his books today — most recently/alarmingly was my long-proclaimed Favorite Book™️ “Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of The World”) — the misogyny, fatphobia and objectification of women is just too f**cking repelling to wade thru to get to swim in his dreamy subconscious anymore. Clearly I grew up to better see this, and he still has yet to.

Colourless set my standards for books so much higher! i only recently got into reading and before reading it, i had read 2-3 books trying to get into reading but nothing really drew me in. i just thought was one of those people that couldn’t get into reading. But this changed everything. This book kept me on my toes. Every time i turned a page i didn’t want to stop because of how engaging it was. I’m a pretty slow reader so the fact i got through this book in 2 weeks says something.

- I really like how gripping this was despite when you think about nothing really happens
- The character development is so subtle from how he starts eating well and no longer feeling scuicudal
- I really wanted to know what was up with sara
- I also probably really liked this book because I am a lot alike to the main dude
- But what happens to Haida? And what was up with that homoerotic tension twords the end of their friendship?????
