From a cozy morning at home ( as usual!) sipping on my coffee and rereading a favorite Murakami! « Kafka on the Shore » is one of Murakami’s best books in which he creates this weird magical world of possibilities that blows you away! Rereading it after 5 years is such a pleasure for me and I’m curious to see how different my feelings would be about it this time! Do you usually reread your favorites even though you have many unread books? . . . . . #harukimurakami #thewindupbirdchronicle #kafkaontheshore #norwegianwood #vintageinthewild #vintagebooks #murakami #موراکامی #japaneseliterature #cozyvibes #warmtones #awildsheepchase #sputniksweetheart #hardboiledwonderlandandtheendoftheworld #村上春樹 #southoftheborderwestofthesun #thepursuitofcosines #studygram #studyjapanese https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSJdWIgz0-/?igshid=1qg9uovv1nrm

What’s the best self- help book you’ve read? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣I know I talk about Murakami a lot, but there is a different, yet very crucial side to my desire for his writing and that’s the fact that he was a runner!⁣ ⁣ Before I read this book I was a totally inactive person but reading Murakami’s words about how he adored running made me want to become a runner! I started getting more active day by day and I still am! Although I can never be a runner because of health problems, but ever since I’ve read this book, I have been active and I go jogging almost everyday! 💪🏻⁣⁣ . . . . . #whatitalkaboutwhenitalkaboutrunning #harukimurakami #thewindupbirdchronicle #kafkaontheshore #norwegianwood #cornersofmyworld #selfhelpbooks #vintageinthewild #vintagebooks #murakami #موراکامی #japaneseliterature #darkacademiaaesthetics #lightacademia #cozyvibes #ofcosymoments #awildsheepchase #sputniksweetheart #darkacademia #村上春樹 #darkacademiavibes #thepursuitofcosiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNplsOTrME1/?igshid=gzzdozimvrdc

Do you keep collections of any sort? ⁣ ⁣ Here is a vivid image of all the paperbacks I own by Murakami and I adore them! I haven’t included the hardbacks just because they’re so big and would not fit! 😅 Another reason why I do not like hardcovers! . . . . . #harukimurakami #thewindupbirdchronicle #kafkaontheshore #norwegianwood #workspaceinspo #deskgoals #desksetup #lightacademia #murakami #موراکامی #japaneseliterature #deskspace #darkacademiavibes #cornersofmyworld #darkacademia #awildsheepchase #sputniksweetheart #hardboiledwonderlandandtheendoftheworld #村上春樹 #southoftheborderwestofthesun #thepursuitofcosiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNuvmw_Lo0N/?igshid=1svz3jnxbr57j

What’s the strangest story you’ve read? A Wild Sheep Chase is one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read and I must say, I enjoyed it so much too! Murakami is known for strange plots and ideas and that’s one of the things I like about him! . . . . . #harukimurakami #murakami #awildsheepchase #موراکامی #村上春樹 #darkacademia #lightacademia https://www.instagram.com/p/CWyQQBdrKx_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Is anyone Haruki Murakami fan? As a Japan fanatic, I somehow managed to avoid reading Murakami's novels until my contemporary Japanese literature class last semester. 😱 ... And let me say A Wild Sheep Chase messed with my mind SO MUCH. Few books have felt so wibbly-wobbly and timey-wimey. My entire class was just one massive conglomeration of absolute confusion after reading this book. It's technically in the Trilogy of the Rat series, but can be read independently. It follows this narrator who goes on a journey both to find his friend, Rat, and to find a sheep with a star-shaped birthmark that "The Boss," a prominent figure on the political and economic scene of Japan wants found before he dies. So, the narrator and his girlfriend set off on what might be a literal wild sheep chase. #QOTD : I have a few for you guys today! Have you/do you read contemporary Japanese lit or Murakami? If so, what's your favourite? What books have you read that have completely messed with your mind? AOTD: The Madman's Daughter and The Toymaker are ones that stick with me because of how much they STILL mess with me. . . . #pagesfromalibrary #awildsheepchase #wildsheepchase #harukimurakami #羊をめぐる冒険 #村上春樹 #日本文学 #現代日本文学 #japaneseliterature #contemporaryliterature #themadmansdaughter #thetoymaker #booksta #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophiles #booksofinstagram #booksta #bookaddicted #instagrambooks #instabookstagram #instabooklovers #igreads #instabooks #booklove #booknerds #bookishlove #bookish #readersofinstagram #bookbookbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CFAU_BegPly/?igshid=k01rij15e8w4
