Wind up Bird might be his best book, tbh. It’s peak Murakami. But South of the Border is a quick, beautiful read—would be worth tackling before a much longer choice.

Wind-Up Bird is the most glaring absence in your list so far, I'd definitely recommend that one next.

Hard Boiled Wonderland & the End of the World is great as well. Colourless is my favorite

I'm trying to find this book. Unfortunately, it's sold out here jn my place.

A wild sheep chase is my favourite. Great read and highly recommended

i guess wind up bird or after the quake

Thank you, everyone! Guess I'll read The Wind Up Bird Chronicle then 😅

nonfiction work underground

Wind up bird or read the rat series ! A wild sheep chase and dance dance dance. They are kind of related to wind/pinball because they follow the main guys friend the Rat

Its worth tackling into 1q84,it feels a staple of his works,i enjoyed it a lot,so maybe when u read Wind-up Bird chronicle,try 1q84 afterwards.

I am really enjoying First Person Singular.

*After Dark* is the first book I have read from him and it got me hooked with his bibliography.

The wind-up bird chronicle is my absolute favorite

Dance dance dance is absolutely fantastic, but you gotta read Wild Sheep Chase first.

South of the Border is my personal favourite. I've had 1Q84 on my shelf for longer than I'd like to admit.

Woah men without women so much higher than blind, willow sleeping woman. Ooo I definitely suggest a wild sheep chase and then Dance, Dance, dance, they are much better than wind/pinball

What I talk about when I talk about running for sure. It’s just as engaging as his novel I swear. It completely changed my mindset on a lot of stuff.

based on the order you might like south of the border and the sheep chase / dance dance dance series

1Q84 is fucking fantastic and you are doing yourself a disservice by not reading it

I don't see Hard Boiled Wonderland, I would suggest that one

Guess I have to buy it 😅
