Comments on: Murakami’s Uncanny Doors of Perception http://www.spinozablue.com/2008/06/146/ An Eclectic Journal of the Arts Mon, 01 Mar 2010 08:54:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cuchulain http://www.spinozablue.com/2008/06/146/comment-page-1/#comment-478 Cuchulain Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:00:50 +0000 http://www.spinozablue.com/?p=146#comment-478 To each his or her own. No problem with you, if you can't "get into" his writing. I love his work. But I do admit that he can be repetitive across his books. I still delight in his characters, their humor and their quests. I also admire the way he writes and I wish I could follow in his running shoes. As in, his typical regimen of running marathons, and shy of that, when he sets out to begin another novel. Interesting that he thinks running is a part of the process. As I mention above, my favorites are <em>Dance, Dance, Dance</em> and <em>Norwegian Wood</em>. May I suggest you give them another try and return to comment on them?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('478','Cuchulain'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('478','Cuchulain','To each his or her own.

I don't see the fascination for Murakami at all. I have decided to start rereading and reading his books, to see whether I would uphold my disdain, but I am profoundly bored by the petty cleverness, the pseudo-learned pop cultural hipness, it all sounds incredibly fake and poseurish and tiresome. I've now read thirty pages of Hard Boiled Wonderland and consider abandoning it. What's wrong with me?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('475','Shigekuni'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('475','Shigekuni','Very strange.
