  • First time reading a Murakami book , when people said his writing was overly horny they really weren’t joking
  • Malta Kano was wearing a trench coat. The lapels were closed tight across the front, but from the subtle fragrance of a woman’s naked flesh I could tell she was wearing nothing underneath.
  • It never really explained why toru okada doesn’t speak to his family
  • The sexualisation of the 16 year old May Kasahara is uncomfortable 
  • At least it didn’t have a Cliff hanger
  • “She told me that the baby’s name was Corsica and that half the baby’s father was me, while the other half was Lieutenant Mamiya.” Isn’t lieutenant mamiya an elderly man, also when the fuck did they even meet like did I miss something?
