I picked up a copy of Kafka on the Shore by Murakami and Oh What a Paradise it Seems by John Cheever at a used book store. I love Murakami and Cheever is one of those American greats that everyone should at least know of if they want to seem intellectual, so I'm pretty happy with what I've got.

Kafka is my second favorite Murakami novel, and had I not read 1Q84 first, it might even take the top spot.

My favorite stories by Murakami are actually his first novellas, Wind/Pinball. I enjoyed 1Q84 but it felt like it could have been shorter. The whole romance sub-plot was hilariously neurodivergent.
