I finished Moby Dic a couple of days ago. Next i’ll pick up Pale Fire by Nabokov. I started reading that book a few months ago and stoped after the poem because i was reading it before sleep and couldn’t focus well. Even though I still remember what happened and took a few notes, I decided to start from the beginning again.

Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami

Murakami is my favourite author.
The line "If you can't understand it without an explanation, you won't understand it with one" really sums up his writing for me. It's not for everyone but I think I get it in a way I don't know if I can necessarily articulate.

This was my favorite book from him! Did you read the rest of the rat series first!?
(Also there is a new movie about one of his books in limited release that not many people know about)

I read Wild Sheep Chase a few years ago. I thought this particular series only had the 2 entries

nah, Technically it goes
Hear the wind sing -> Pinball, 1973 -> a wild sheep chase -> Dance Dance Dance
they sell the first two in a combined edition called wind/pinball and I think some markets get a combined edition of the second two.
Realistically book 1/2 and 3/4 aren't too related, So reading out of order or skipping the first two isn't a problem. I do think it makes the final payoff a little better, but that's probably because you've spent so much time with the MC.

Oh shit I'll have to read the first 2 then, had no idea
Actually was suprised Wild Sheep Chase even had a sequel since Murakami usually does singular pieces
Though, Sheep Chase never gave the impression I was joining halfway into a story. Though his stories kind of blend together since the MC is almost always a young Japanese man who drinks a lot, gets easy kitty, and listens to jazz while thinking things through
