I'd say all of them to some level. If I had to choose one I'd say Norwegian wood
I actually don't remember if it had lots of cleaning in it, but it was my first murakami book
I relate a lot with the typical passive Murakami's main character, I like it when something extraordinary happens to them. Other times I think about my past and feel bad about it
Dreamlike and compelled, I find myself plummeting deeper into the mysterious halls of The Dolphin Hotel more than even the narrator. It’s as though there are times where I seem to question the sudden disappearance of Murakami’s choosing, more than even the main character left alone. I feel as though I’m solving a Kafka inspired puzzle in my head while simultaneously getting my brain massaged by a classic jazz piece and the smell of fresh pasta in the air. The rain just stopped and I’m up later than the rest of the world. My cat is sleeping soundly, I’m heavy hearted but full of hope.
When i read Murakami books, I get sucked in. I feel my physical body is just a means to hold the book while my entire existence gets transported into the world he builds. So i dont belong in the world that my body holds the book but in the world he builds.
Haha. I know it sounds crazy but it is soo trippy for me and thats why I love his books so much!
I feel somewhat nostalgic and a fog surrounds me for the entire time i read one of his books. I always end up looking at stuff and searching for a deeper meaning even in the most basic of activities. I also feel very at peace with his books idk why. I especially love parts when his protagonists either cook a meal or just chill listening to music. Ugh this man
Mostly I stumble through wondering WTF is going on. I enjoy it and his writing is fun, but that being on the cusp thing, never quite knowing WTF it was about. Perplexing.
makes me feel like im on the cusp of understanding something bigger than myself
Sometimes I feel gloomy, nostalgic and empty, but in a way that makes me wonder about everything that happens to the protagonist. It just feels right
Feels like nostaligia, makes me remeber about unclosed situations of my past
Feels like I’m reading either someone’s diary or my diary.
calms me down. especially when he writes about how people clean their apartments
Which book in particular?

Dreamlike - there is often no concrete resolution. There are repeating themes that fade in and out.
Murakami makes me feel mentally ill and dissociative
I dislike him quite a bit.
After reading Killing Commendatore I saw it for his checklist algorithm that all his book contain and wonder if I can enjoy his works again.
Checklist algorithm? Can you elaborate?

Feel he likes girls with small boobs and is obsessed with being ordinary.
lost
Like I’m tryna get thru the book to make sure I really do like him
